And thus the great, devouring, omnipotent TSA monster turns its ugly head and gazes at the cargo companies for the first time.

CNN has been talking for an hour about how lax screening is at the cargo companies.

I predict full body scans at the hub within 2 years.

Baseless speculation. Groups like AQAB, AQI, etc don't operate around holidays or days of interest. The hatch a plan, coordinate, and execute when able. Holiday timing has nothing to do with it.
