Airport security is best described as this: a no-win situation. You can never do good enough of a job for half of the public. The other doesn't even understand why you are there. In plain English, one half thinks you suck and the other half doesn't think you suck enough.
Do what they say, get on your plain and have a nice flight. Do you know why you are taking your shoes off? Do you know why you are giving up your liquids? Do you know why everybody gets checked? They lost two airliners to terrorists posing as pregnant women with bombs stracked around their stomachs. They were pretty, they were white and they were women. Not your typical terrorists, I'd say.
Who is responsible for making you sure you are safe at the airport? They are known as the TSA, or the Transportation Security Administration. Airlines, pre 9/11, handled their own security. Nowadays the government is mandating to take over airport security. In 2002, the TSA was established across the country. Logan Airport right here in Boston has some of the best security. Do you wonder why? Two planes left from Logan; two towers got hit a little while later. You understand.
