Makes no fucking sense

This NYT LttE makes no sense:

To the Editor:

Why not create the option of see-through tote bags and backpacks?

While far from being a foolproof deterrent, this would offer an additional impediment to potential terrorists. Even an enquiring look by a few fellow passengers might save lives.

Make a safety statement, not a fashion statement.
