#1 Hijackings, doubtful. Exploding shoes, maybe. But if they use methodologies that worked in the past, they'll try bombs in suitcases, with the added twist that their owner accompanies them. I still think this is the weakest part of airport security.

#2 I'd suggest airport employees, security guards, mechanics, ground crew, etc. Lots of people who are routinely in and out of secure areas all day long. The fact that the INS can raid any major airport in the country and round up illegal workers suggests this as a big weakness.

#3 Chicago is once again hosting the annual muslim retreat over Labor Day weekend.

Glad I'm flying out to Vegas.
