Also, while a sane world would not employ 5-foot-tall grandmothers as law enforcement officers, a sane world would also not give full body-cavity searches to 5-foot-tall grandmothers at airports.

I absolutely agree with this. We should not searching passengers for weapons and we should not be prohibiting people from carrying them. If citizens were allowed to carry weapons on planes, the 9/11 attacks would not have occurred.

A single bullet can down an aircraft. There are some deranged people our there, who care little for their own lives. There is also misfires...

I agree with that, too, but I have yet to here of grandmothers getting full cavity searches at airports. Did I miss a thread here?
