This assumes that Osama and his fans are scared by our lame-ass tactics. It's been proven over and over that these systems suck. There have been tons of reports of people sneaking things into places on purpose to test the systems, and getting through.

Retreating is what America did when they lost the Vietnam War after countless pointless deaths.
