Our government's failure to secure our borders, and other factors, makes me believe that most airport security measures are no more than a "dog and pony show" to lull the public into a false sense of security.

If you want to secure your house you don't just frisk visitors before they enter your kitchen.

You lock your doors.

The article doesn't specify whether the ASPs can tell the difference between one radioactive isotope and another (Discrimination). We know that the PVT portal can't. It would be nice to know if the ASPs can discriminate radioactive isotopes under any test conditions. Favorable or not. The GAO report is also silent on this. What's the big secret?
