It pretty much takes a day if I fly or if I drive, so I might as well drive.
What needs to happen is about a two week boycott of all air travel. After that maybe we could get some common sense restored within DHS.
I’m hardly a fan of the TSA.
That stated, all one has to do is view the huge PILE of knives, guns, box cutters, stun guns, various mace type products, that are left at the end of EACH DAY at EVERY MAJOR AIRPORT after being confiscated by TSA to realize this pilot is either oblivious to reality, or has an agenda.
If TSA had any sense of public relations, they would show these PILES OF WEAPONS via the internet, every single day.
I sure do miss the days when my family could see me off at the gate, and meet me just as I was exiting the plane.
They promised us Trusted Traveler years ago.
Here at RIC, they put almost everyone through the Porn-o-scan (as I call it). It delays the line unbelievably.
And yes, the pilot is correct: it does not accomplish a damn thing. As a 2 million mike flier (nearly 300,000 miles a year), I can tell you there are holes in so-called “airport security” that you could fly a 747 through.
