Thanks for sharing your story! I guess I view the extra security as an inconvenience. If some people don't like, fine, then drive, take the bus, or Amtrak. I think the security will be getting better and quicker with more technology and better training. I wish that the Republicans hadn't caved so quickly on the bill, but that is the way it goes. Something has to be done. I know many want to carry a gun on the airplane, but how do you tell who is a good guy carrying and who is a bad one???

Something has to be done

Something can be done and it would make more sense. I said it on September 12th and I'll keep saying it. If we throw the foreigners out of the country who fit the terrorist profile, we greatly diminish the chances of attack and American citizens don't lose their freedom. We don't owe these people anything. We are under no obligation to allow any foreigner to come here or stay here. These people are guests of the United States and they can be told to leave at our discretion.

The government won't throw the non-citizen, middle eastern males out of America to make us more secure. The men who are most likely to cause trouble should be the focus NOT grandmas flying to visit families. The feds would rather turn our country into a police state and keep welcoming the troublemakers as before than do the sensible and effective thing to greatly reduce the threat.

You don't have to; if the good guys have guns, the bad guys dare not try to use theirs.

I can assure you of this: I'm not flying the commercial airlines, as long as flying them involves suspending my rights, and being treated as a criminal suspect. No, thanks.
