If their security is as good as their blogging it's time to consider travelling by bus.

Also their "20 layers of security" chart[1] is an unintentionally hilarious masterpiece. Note the arrow they've drawn circumventing every layer of security apart from passengers. So really, we can't say they didn't warn us.

When I saw the 20 layers chart, I thought it was a troll blog because the graphic looks like it has planes crashing into towers.
> Each one of these layers alone is capable of stopping a terrorist attack.

Well, we were vetting crews before 911. How many attacks did that layer stop? The sentence needs a qualifier: "...through that vector."

The authorites are working on that angle, too. ;)

I immediately thought of the phrase "twenty herbs and spices," and that product doesn't even exist here.
My guessing is that their testing of the scanners is about as good as their blogging......
