I agree that anyone who really wants to get a weapon on a plane probably can. But the idea is to make it difficult, and thus increase the risk of getting caught. Decrease the likelihood of success, in other words. I take it you're not willing to give up some convenience for that end.

We still live in a democracy and if there is enough protest over this type of knee jerk reaction it will be changed. As far as I'm concerned the new rule about knives is wrong too, I would prefer there to be more than just the potential highjacker armed with a knife. And believe me if one really wants to get a weapon on a plane he will succeed.
