The key to flying post 9/11 is to carry a hip pack. Send it through seperate. In that hip pack put your keys, and everything metal in it. Along with a couple good paperbacks. I am talking belt buckles, all your change, anything metal.

Once on the Plane, the hip pack with the paper backs will make a good defense against someone with a "box cutter" that "Barney Fife" at the gate did not find.

It is sad that they are making the "security of the planes" an upward position path for they persons that use to bag our groceries at the food store.

I do not mean this as hostile. I am just speaking my mind.

Yeah, I know one, he freely states that it is the easiest way to get into Federal service. His sole goal in life is to get a Federal job. Nice guy, and one of the better ones. But the ones I generally run into ... They are Americans too, but damn I would never have a beer with them. 'Just doing my job, mon, just doing my job.' Yet we hanged people for doing their job at the end of WWII. How can they square 'doing their job' with the constant harassing of their fellow Americans?
