This is a depressing thread. Is there no one here besides Byron who's going to protest this attitude that all those who don't uncomplainingly submit to all our demands deserve to be blown out the sky?

There are reasonable security measures and there are unreasonable ones. People have a right to argue about where that line lies. Tom Ridge's word is not holy writ.

Asking people to not line up for the bathroom is ridiculous. I'd resent it. And so would the rest of you. This is not the way we ought to be using our power.

I have to think that the vast majority Americans are with me on this this. But thanks for doing your part to prop up that old ugly American stereotype folks.

Agreed.

Re airport security, we should be taking a few pages from Israel's book, if we're really serious about improving security.
