Here's an idea: Let's say you are really mistrustful of this whole 'rounding up the terrorists' thing AND you're pissed about the long lines at the airport, etc. Completely understandable. We could create an airline that does NOT security screen at all and the people who are upset about the fantasy of threat or the length of time it takes to get thru the airport could fly this line.

DanaC has a point though; several "terrorist" cases in the UK turned out to be a mistake with completely innocent people being killed and/or injured.

Why is this such a dismissive idea? Put your money where your mouth is. IF the planes had been blown up over the Atlantic, the cries would be, "WHY OH WHY DIDN'T OUR GOVERNMENTS KNOW ABOUT THIS?" etc. Can't really have it both ways, eh? Even you must know that.

The fact is, if I wouldn't trust you in my airplane with a weapon, I wouldn't trust you in it without one anyway. Drawback: Limited destinations and schedules available, and no lavs.
