Mineta always seem to make reference to his family's internment during WWII when explaining his policies and, over time, convinced me that his insistence on inconveniencing the average American traveler by trying to eliminate all possible weapons, instead of doing anything to identify potential terrorists, was his "payback."

I don't know if Mineta is warped or stupid -- but, it doesn't really matter -- his impact on reducing traveler safety while, simultaneously, destroying the economics of the airline business will be with us forever.

A Cabinet secretary who would endanger the U.S. population in order to extract "payback" for an injustice to his family that occurred a half century ago is not fit for public office.
