The Economist Debate on Airplane Security

On The Economist website, I am currently debating Kip Hawley on airplane security. On Tuesday we posted our initial statements, and today (London time) we posted our rebuttals. We have one more round to go.

I’ve set it up to talk about the myriad of harms airport security has caused: loss of trust in government, increased fear, creeping police state, loss of liberty in the “rights free zone,” and so on. Suggestions of what to say next are appreciated.
