The fact remains - there is a sure-fire method to getting an electronically triggered bomb aboard any commercial airliner, in spite of all of the security measures taken today, and have it blow up whenever.
There is also a sure-fire way to prevent attacks on airplanes by non-personnel:
1. X-ray and backcatter all luggage
2. Provide dressing rooms where the passengers will strip naked and be rendered unconscious by some method
3. Bring the passengers onto the airplanes on stretchers, x-raying them in the process
4. Take off safely!
5. Upon landing, awaken the passengers, and provide them with their clothes and luggage.
Side effects include abolishment of flight-fright.

dressed to impress we are buried,
naked and free we are born;
in life we cover the privates,
or risk conservative scorn
but now when traveling freely,
no liquids or gels must we bear;
and since x-rays undress us so keenly,
soon the airlines may ban underwear
so few are the freedoms we're used to,
and so many restrictions these days;
if we voters ignore all the signals,
are we nuturing communist ways?
