RE: Lack of Security

| Can someone explain to me how only allowing ticketed passengers past | security checkpoints is going to accomplish anything toward increased | security? The only thing I can even dream of is that it will reduce the | number of people passing the checkpoints. And thus reduce the number of people and bags etc that need to be checked, which will allow for more time to do thorough checks. Why is it important that non-passengers be able to get all the way to the gate?
