I wouldn't agree that this has been an enormous waste of money. Sure, 
it's from your (the tax payer's) point of view, but it doesn't seem to 
me from the government's (aka the people who spend your money and try to 
keep you quiet and tame) point of view:

Based on that unfitting rationale of "increasing air travel security in 
view of international Islamistic terrorism", governments have been more 
and more controlling our lives, invading our privacy and taken away our 
constitutional rights. From people getting harrassed enourmosly at the 
airport AND having come to accept this, it's only a small step to you 
being required to succumb to a cavity search whenever you're entering a 
government building to file a justified complaint or something.

It had worked just fine February 1933 in Germany, why souldn't it work 
in the 21st century in all of Europe and North America?
