Sounds like too many people have too much time on their hands. I have only been stopped and thoroughly searched once, when I arrogantly declined to do some things "on principle". TSA then had an obligation to check me out. Now when I have a flight, I know and adhere to the simple rules. I breeze through screening despite frequent travel to some questionable countries.
Funny about the combination of people on this thread who are offended by PC labels, coupled with those who desire special treatment because of their own labels.
FWIW - I spent most of the last three years traveling twice a month - active duty military traveling on orders on a government purchased ticket.
I averaged 50% for more thorough inspections. Always wondered why a military officer traveling on orders with a government purchased ticket was so suspicious. I concluded it was due to the large number of highjackings committed by USAF officers.
I am sort of intrigued by the patriots on the thread who seem to get a kick out of harassing security by carrying metal cards that set off alarms, refuse to take off boots, are intentionally making the process harder. That hardly seems like actions of adults who want security to work.
That said, I fly about twenty times a year on business. TSA seems to be doing a good job to me. It is not their fault that they are hamstrung by pc concerns. Sure, Israeli screeners would do a better job. But is anyone seriously thinking there are enough Israelis to do the job.
