It really ticks me off to see people whining about being inconvenienced....they are alive....and these would be the same people complaining that the British government didn't do enough to stop the terrorists.

Folks who are impatient ought to be treated to Mrs Miniver as the in-flight movie. Impatient. Sheesh. They should've been around for The Blitz.

If people are annoyed with the security measures taken to ensure their safety maybe they should just remember who it is who caused this mess and act accordingly.

Did Chuckie Shumer make it back? Last thing I heard was that he was stuck in England and hoping to get a Sunday flight back to the US.

Travellers are not being forced to overnight in leaking tents because of the Blitz, which was about British endurance, but because the authorities are refusing to profile the likely terrorists, which is about political correctness gone mad.

How hard is it to just pack all your stuff in your checked bag? Is this so hard to figure out? Show up at security with your ticket, and that's all. No problem.
They'll give you a magazine and a drink on the plane.

It really ticks me off to see people whining about being inconvenienced.Tell that to Chucky Schumer. If I read the article correctly, these delays are due to bans on carry on luggae. Big friggin deal. My laptop is the only carry-on I ever carry on anyhow. I'd just have my London office ship it back to the States.

They are subjecting every single passenger to a full body search. I submit to you that that is insane and unnecessary and motivated solely by the pc notion that you cannot single out the obvious suspects.
The problem is not carry-on bags and suspicious liquids. The problem is Islam.

these should be targeted towards the flights at risk LOL!
And how do you think they determine what flights are at risk?

Did Chuckie Shumer make it back? Last thing I heard was that he was stuck in England and hoping to get a Sunday flight back to the US. Did he get to do his vapid, pointless weekly Sunday Press Conference? Ol' Chuckie picks some stupid issue each week and holds a Press Conference every Sunday, which is the slowest news day of the week. It might be lines at the DMV or auto insurance rates or price gouging on gasoline, whatever it is he announces some study or investigation, and the whole business is never heard from again. The entire purpose is to get a sound-bite on the News.
I don't think Chuckie has missed a Sunday in years. He'll be really P.O.ed if he missed this week. He'll probably blame the cops, not the terrorists, though.

I guess that means only another mass slaughter will get people to act? Sad, but I think that you are absolutely right.

If I'm traveling for work, I'll drive to any place I can reach in one day by car (that's 18 hours for me). If I'm traveling for pleasure, I'll drive to any place that has a road going to it.
I hated flying long before this crap. Terrorism is simply the final nail in the coffin of an industry operating under a terrible business model.
