As for the interview-every-passenger approach, that is a different balancing. unlike the stare-at-each-id-intently-for-half-a-minute policy, it might actually catch someone. But it will cost a crapload more in terms of TSA budget, and likely in terms of time. And as it is, we have not successful terrorist attack resulting from a beach in airport security since I don't know when.

No, I grasp it. I just think the extra time is minimal and causes very little hassle. I'm also waiting for you to show me some evidence of the "close to zero additional deterrent" -- typically, when one does "the cost vs. benefit thing," one relies on more than overall crankiness and hunches.
