If policy were set sanely, that would be an equation involving the real number of such threats and the realistically-determined effectiveness of such countermeasures vs the intrusion on personal freedom. We’re not about to run such an equation.

(In Israel, in the 1990s, we were quite used to the presence of overage mallcops with 9mm autos checking our bags at every theater and most large shopping centers. Kept down the smuggling of Good ‘n Plenty.)

Did the G n’ P in a bag pocket look/feel too much like a loaded magazine?
