..."I once asked Michael Chertoff, the secretary of Homeland Security, about this. 'We actually ultimately do have a vision of trying to move the security checkpoint away from the gate, deeper into the airport itself, but there’s always going to be some place that people congregate. So if you’re asking me, is there any way to protect against a person taking a bomb into a crowded location and blowing it up, the answer is no.' ”

For what it's worth, I think TSA is one of the least-intelligent and least-useful branches of that good ol' Homeland Security Ramp-Up Effort.
Of course, back in the days before TSA, airport security was reputedly paid less than airport-baggage-mishandlers.
It's just that I doubt a heaping goodness of Bureaucracy helped a situation in which the priorities were already upside-down-and-backwards.
I found this interview interesting; it discusses what might be the legacy of our next president.
