...it's war and if the Europeans don't want to follow OUR rules, then they can just stay home. It's up to us to protect ourselves....not Europe!...

Banning Aussies from queueing for QANTAS toilets won't protect anyone, Arpege. It's just another bit of rank stupidity which'll make travellers' lives more difficult and accomplish nothing, security-wise. You guys arguing that this craziness is somehow of benefit remind me of a liberal who's never been mugged. You'd change your mind about this pretty quick after a cavity search at LAX. Trouble is, most of you have never left Peoria and don't give a stuff about air travellers, or anyone but yourself.

Byron, I have traveled all over Europe, and I don't mind my country's new desire for security. I have been to your beautiful country, on R & R back in 69. You have as much too protect that we do. I do not mind a security check three times taking off shoes, belts, even once down to my undershorts. It was somewhat uncomfortable, but it was even better that the plane did not get flown into a building, or crash om a hillside. Life has changed for all of us since 9/11. Let's live with it as we strive to catch the bad guys. If not don't come to the USA,

Oh well then....lets keep these people happy because we aim to please. How selfish of us to force inconvience onto you.

"Trouble is, most of you have never left Peoria and don't give a stuff about air travelers, or anyone besides yourself."

Horse Hockey....Although I don't have the exact number yet, thousands upon thousands of US citizens died fighting foreign wars. We don't have to prove a damn thing to anyone anyway.

BTW....as a "Peoria" person, I have traveled greatly. As do thousands of Americans serving over sea's!!!!!
