I, for one, don’t think we are trying to catch anyone.I believe this whole thing is a CYA response to intelligence reports of an increased threat level. Why else would they start this enhanced security just days before the busiest travel season of the year? They say it is in response to the Xmas day bomber, but if that were true, why did they wait almost a year? I am convinced they have learned of a new threat and are afraid to panic the public. The only other plausible explanation would be revenge for the election debacle they suffered. Take your pick.

I confess that I vacillate between the CYA theory and the concept that the reds in the WH simply want to drive the American economy into the ground. The Bush WH started this fiasco, but it has gotten into high gear the past two years. Got a better idea. It turns out that airports do not have to use TSA screeners. They can use a private company instead. So, my idea is that they hire El Al personnel. I'll go thru that any day.
