What's this?

Airport security. I remember after 9/11 at LAX every entrance had a

checkpoint and every car was stopped and looked into briefly. Seems like that would be a good place to start security at airports and many big gathering spots. Wouldn't take long to look for weapons and make occupants open coats for suicide bomb checks.
