"I knew all this "tighter security" fad was temporary and over-sensationalized."
And let's be thankful for it. We should be solving the problem, not throwing up lots of silly obstacles. Curbside luggage check in is not a serious threat. Nor are sushi chefs in the concourse. And let's not get started on nail clippers.
Locking the cockpit door, matching luggage versus people boarding the plane, and letting pilots who've ask to carry weapons will do virtually all that is necessary.
(that and putting some hurt on those who would consider trying this again)
