With these geniuses in charge of security, airline travel is no more secure today that it was on 9/11. All we've done is created an entirely new class of civil servant control freaks and given them power to **** with peoples' lives. isn't that the truth? |

There is a certain amount of security in "random" security since it makes it much harder to plan some attack. |

You should try and do the same. Geoff That's fine. If you want to submit the government "security," measures, inorder to excercise a privledge (travelling by air), that's fine with me. I chose not to submit to those measures and as such, I don't travel by air as air travel is not a right. I'd rather be secure in my person and my possessions at the expense of getting somewhere a little quicker. My friend had a fun experience flying home the other day. Seems our last name is similar to another passenger on the flight - a passenger that the airline had flagged for "extra" screening. They gave my friend this woman's boarding pass by mistake; my friend didn't notice right away. Gee, I wonder why the other person was "flagged." ****ed off a gate agent somewhere? When she got to the screening station, she got the full treatment: the wanding, the swabbing, the individual inspection of every item in her luggage. The brilliant agents of the TSA didn't notice that the boarding pass was incorrect, either - even though they looked at my friend's ID. sarcasm Instills alot of confidence in the tsa, doesn't it? /sarcasm After the screening was over, my friend went to the gate. It was then she noticed that she had the wrong boarding pass. So she went to the airline counter, explained what had happened, and received the correct snip entirely new class of civil servant control freaks and given them power to **** with peoples' lives. Yet another reason to stay the hell off commercial airlines if at all possible. The civil servants running the security show couldn't screen out a terrorist if their own lives depended on it. |

I think most people agree we need good security in airports, but gov't. bureauracy never does anything very well. Just another reason to be afraid of socialized medicine. -- There's no way to delay that trouble comin' everyday |
