Is there yet a web site yet that catalogues the security procedures at each airport? If some people consider avoiding flights, they might actually be interested in such info. Not the standard detectors which aren't that annoying, but things like control of liquids, these new scanners, the grope, etc. Can just imagine selling third-party widgets to travel sites:
"On this itinerary, you may be subject to these security checks: genitalia scan (arr: LAX) or grope (arr: LAX), liquid check (dep: SYD)."
This is a brilliant idea. If someone else doesn't do it, I may; I travel infrequently, but I sure as hell don't want to be putting my kids through either of the "options" right now. It would be wonderful to know how to route around it.
I really like that idea as a way to resist the security theater. It would give travellers the information they need to vote with their wallets for privacy over "security."
Someone downvoted you so I'm voting you back up. I thought the same thing when the concept came to me - the creator would cop a lot of criticism (even be mildly terrorised, funnily enough) from some quarters.
