> There's a real need for security though.

Why?

Do we need this level of security at a bus station or a train station? No? Why?

Because planes can be flown into things? Lock the cabin door.

Because there's lots of people on planes? Well, there's lots of people on trains, buses, or in random offices and hotels. Why are the plane people special? What about giant conventions or events?

We have all this security because of 9/11, but only 1 security measure (locking cabin doors) was needed to stop the next 9/11.
