I flew out of Denver on Monday and was told I didn’t have to take off my shoes.

I feel like we already have the solution. The reason hijacking a plane is attractive for a terrorist is because you essentially have a precision missile. There’s little security for buses or trains because you can’t do the same thing. If you make the cockpit basically bulletproof and have strict procedures about entering the cockpit during flight, then it’s not nearly as attractive. Those changes were already made after 9/11. Hijacking a plane only allows the hijackers to kill the people on board, which isn’t as useful. Literally eliminate TSA and I think we’re good.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. Eliminating the TSA is a net positive. Good to know about the increased in flight security, and that makes sense.
