I listed it in my first post.
It involved a hijack-proof plane that also protects its passengers during flight and checks bathrooms for anything out of the ordinary.
In the airport, I kept random shoe checks, metal detectors and luggage xrays.
Then I returned everyone\'s freedoms back to them since I\'m a nice guy.
And I raised ticket prices to pay for it, although the government (taxpayers) could (should) throw some cash at it, too.

Well, that\'s fine for hijackers.... but you clearly didn\'t read the article about the current plot.
The plan, since you were too lazy to read up on it, didn\'t involve hijacking planes, it was rather to bring in dangerous liquid chemicals (no high explosives) camoflaged in other bottles. Once these were on the plane, they planned to cause explosions/fires on the planes, big enough to cause the airliners to crash. This was to happen on multiple flights as close to the same time as possible (read 5-10 big planes crashing in one day). No need for complex timers, ignition devices, etc - it was a multi-pronged suicide attack.
British and U.S. investigators, describing a plot on the scale of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said the planners sought to use common electronic devices to detonate liquid explosives to bring down as many as 10 planes.
The bombs were to be assembled aboard the aircraft, apparently with peroxide-based solution and everyday carry-on items such as a disposable camera or a music player, two American law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Britain asked that no information be released.
Current security devices at the airport have no way to detect regular (but dangerous) liquids in bottles/tubes. Xray can\'t identify it, and \'sniffers\' only look for high explosives. Hence a choice - open EVERY bottle/tube in peoples luggage and test it or just throw it out. In a few weeks it won\'t be a big hassle, because people will learn not to bring bottles in their carry ons, just like they\'ve learned to leave scissors, nail files, etc, in their checked luggage.
