I was just being a wise ass. Hard to believe here in the land of the free, that we can't deal with this problem in a better way. If enough sheep would stop flying, call it flexing muscle (Consumers can do that), then maybe our gubmint would start concentrating their efforts on the roots of 9/11. They haven't used their guns to our heads to force us to fly, yet. The clown in this incident was easily dealt with and it didn't cost us billions to subdue him, did it? Does this mean we're gonna bomb Uraguay? Blackbird.

Thanks for clarifying your earlier comments. You'll have to excuse me. I had just gotten home from 8+ hours of dealing with whipporwills at work (convicted felons) and I took your comments literally.

I haven't flown in years. Couldn't stand it then and have no desire or need to ever fly again. Having worked in the security field for the past 22 years, having been in sticky situations from time to time, and having had to be responsible for preventing breaches in security, I tend to be a bit more critical of the way some of these incidents are handled. It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, but the behavior of some of these so-called security people at the airports makes me want to scream!
