YEAH - I fly A LOT. And airport security annoys the hell out of me too. I mind my business and do as I am told and think calming thoughts so that I don't go crazy with the inanity of it all. But what bothers me most is that all of this costs a lot of money. And when you add airport security to building security to homeland security to national security, we are spending vast amounts of money for completely non-productive work (dare I mention Iraq?). This is a gigantic waste and a recipe for deficits, falling standards of living, and waning national influence. Maybe this is what the perpetrators of 9/11 had in mind all along?
