So the TSA guy is trying at every turn to say there has been some value and success in the current procedures, whereas Schneier says there have been none.
But both agree on a picture of airport security going forward that is much more pre-911.
So its the TSA guy trying to CYA and not be held accountable for the cost carried so far, but conceding it has to end.
> "is trying at every turn to say there has been some value"
And failing to provide one well documented example. No, just saying there were some cases is not fine. We've had very detailed examples of issues from people who experienced them, we looked at videos taken on cameras, we've heard multiple analysis of the failures. From the other side I've heard only "there were some successes, really". They completely fail to validate this point...
