I'm not going to touch this thread topic with a 1000 foot pole but in response to this post I am against check stops and airport security.
Check stops are an infringement on your rights presuming guilt until proven innocent. Instead of grouping a bunch of police in one area that can easily be avoided if you use google traffic, have them out patrolling the streets looking for erratic drivers and giving them drug tests and breathalysers.
Airport security is overkill and only provides the illusion of security. An example I always use is how I've had olive oil and an Allen key confiscated but no one noticed the time I flew halfway around the world accidentally having safety razor blades in my carry on. The reason for no highjackings in America after 9-11 is because of reinforced cockpit doors, Air Marshals and the hard work of intelligence agencies.
