Pretty easy for the media and the bleeding hearts in hindsight to ask why this wasnt done, and why that wasnt done etc....but its not realistic..

It wouldn't hurt if security at least had access to simple foreign language phrase books (they sell them right at the gift shop), or at the very least, a phone list with people at the airport who can speak foreign language. I would have thought they would have the latter...
