That’s reassuring, isn’t it?

Now we can spend a trillion more on airport security so my wife and I can get frisked a couple of NEW ways when we are going to visit the grandkids.

This is pathetic.

Why not CUT the budget and focus on the likely suspects...frisking everyone is like a football team running a defense where they try to cover everyone in the STADIUM instead of the opposing players.

Nice play calling, Coach Bammy...

Thanks a lot! Another excuse for government control and spending another trillion that we don’t have.

You mean frisk all blacks? This guy could have passed as any black man and does not look like your typical terrorist.

Many terrorists have looked like hispanics...do you want to frisk them all?

The Uighars look asian, so anybody fitting that description needs to be checked.

Oh, Chechnyan terrorists look very caucasian....so we should frisk all whites.

If we do that, we are right back where we are today...everybody gets screened.

If you believe this enemy is a single race, you are as naive as most liberals.

Focus on the F’n Muslims, and those who look like them. Period!

And get them ALL out of airport security checks in Detroit.

My wife and I traveled to Las Vegas last year from the Los Angeles area. When planning our trip, I wasn’t thrilled to have to put up with the nonsense one had to at the airports these days. We decided to drive.

When you start adding up the time involved to get there and back, it doesn’t take much longer to drive.

Super-shuttle to airport. Early check in. Waiting for the flight to board. Boarding. Flight time. Waiting for your luggage at the destination. Taking it over to the cab loading zone. Traveling to your hotel. Tipping of three different individuals.

The travel time works out to be a bit more. The cost works out to be better, if you drive. The quality of your experience is much better. And in addition, when you get to Vegas, you have a vehicle to drive around to different places you want to go.

I don’t like the airport experience any longer. The mystique of flying has turned into more of an eastern block checkpoint experience. Ah, no thanks. If I can avoid it, I do not fly.

Now now, we mustn’t call a spade a spade, THAT would be profiling. And that’s wrong....

If I practiced medicine the way they practice security I would attempt a prostate exam on every man woman and child who wandered through the ER.
