The TSA is considering ending security screening of passengers on flights in small "regional" planes.

One of the criticisms cited in the article is mistaken — the TSA says that passengers connecting from a small plane to a larger one would be screened at the connection airport.

Given how inefficient the TSA is at finding weapons in passengers' baggage — reportedly it misses most of them — I don't think this would put passengers in much danger. A terrorist that wants to kill 60 people could do that in a subway car.
