Idle Wondering

If there was an alternate system of airports and airlines that did the sort of screening that was being done, say, in the 1990's and not the type that is being done now, and assuming that the safety rating of the airlines themselves (working equipment, competent pilots) was adequate, would you fly that one instead of flying within the system that the U.S. has now?

Seriously, think it through. Would you fear that someone would sneak through with something really dangerous like her nipple rings on, or with their sterile feeding tube still in its wrapper, or would you believe that your trip would be within a reasonable, acceptable "safety" range?
