Hope they brought in industrial quantities of Lysol and air fresheners...after those long lines...

Memo to my person file: remember to not wear those socks with the holes in them the next time I fly to Seattle!

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Man...is it just me, or do other people think this airport security thing is starting to sound like a Chevy Chase movie?

[SkiBum]

Typical assessment of situation: "This stinks!"

[Alouette]

When shoes are outlawed, only outlaws will have shoes.

First people whine about airports not taking measures to increase security.

Then when they do, people whine more.

Some people you just an't please.

[robstewart]

I wonder what they are going to do if a woman puts explosives up her vagina or a man puts some explosives up his anus?

[SkiBum]

Can one be banned from boarding the flight if they have a goddawful case of athlete's foot?

[tazman3]

I'm wondering what new security measures will take effect if the next terrorist is caught with C4 in his "underwear". :-)

[Chewy]

They should just make everyone fly nude.

Why pay $500 to be treated like an inmate? Even before this latest delay, driving was faster - when you consider all ground time (driving to and from airport, security hassles, baggage check/retrieval, renting car).

Best of all, even a Honda Civic lets you split the "fare" four ways. Try doing that with Delta!

An obious Middle Eastern nutjob with a false passport, scraggly beard and terminal BO smuggles a shoe bomb on board a jetliner and the response is to check the shoes of American-born WASPS. Makes sense to me. </sarcasm>

The fifth one is always the terrorist.

[Tai_Chung]

Why every fifth passenger?

Only 20% will be checked. A terrorist would have an 80% chance of getting explosive shoes on board the aircraft.

[Ima Lurker]

All your shoes are belong to us.

Sorry.....but somebody had to say it.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Strip searches are on the way and are conducted in some airports now. "She looks good. Strip her."

[w1andsodidwe]

I had to remove my shoes when I flew out of Sacramento on November 29th. Obviously, this threat has been out there a while.

[Sabramerican]

The good news is that Sushi is served.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

This is Sea-Tac airport. Security has been instructed to only pull old Jewish ladies out of line for inspection.

We wouldn't want to pull any Arabic looking people out of line and be accused of profiling.

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

I plan on taking a trip in March. I'm going to wear the same socks, for at least two hours everyday, until then. Being that fifth person will be fun.
