This is third-world crap, where you have to pay a street person to watch your car so that the street people don't strip it.

How much of this crap will Americans take before they boycott airports and refuse to return until the TSA has been dismantled and scrapped?

That's the only way it will ever change.

I'm doing my part. I haven't flown in seven years, though life would be much easier if I did.

When will the rest of the fliers get a clue?

I have to fly for business, otherwise I avoid it

“I’m doing my part. I haven’t flown in seven years, though life would be much easier if I did.”

One of the objectives of the exercise is to convince people to *not* fly.

The “Luddite left” hate airplanes and air travel. In Britain now there are calls to heavily tax flying in addition to the taxes they already have.

“The tax – originally presented as an environmental measure – will penalise not the well-off business traveller who flies on private jets but the ordinary British holidaymaker on a well-earned break.”

Think about it, there is absolutely *no* legitimate reason for the TSA to keep increasing its level of offensive behavior, and yet it does. Why do they *concentrate* on the most innocent of people, such as small children, people in wheelchairs and the handicapped, the sick and elderly?

Security almost has nothing to do with it anymore.
