It's a given around here that the "increased security" now at U.S. airports is an all around joke. Just for show, for the little people and the uninitiated.

The article in question is an inaccurate hack job.

I used to have a SIDA card for ramp access Lambert Airport, St. Louis, and had access at Louisville and Topeka. I think it would be near impossible and extremely expensive to secure the ramps at most large airports.
I don't think they could do it effectively if they wanted to, and still maintain their flight schedule, and, make money.
It's been a few years since I had access but I doubt operations have changed much (probably gotten more hectic), and when I was there I could have gone about anywhere I wanted to. I had the codes to the jetways, my card would get me through most of the service entrances and baggage doors. People and vehicles were coming and going constantly. I couldn't imagine them being able to screen everyone and everything, everytime they entered or exited a SIDA.
I think the article is for the most part on the money.
