I guess I get more of a "hmmmmmmmmm" type reaction to why some of the passengers worry, "just a little bit" about whether they'll be let in to the United States in the first place.

It's a different world since 9-11-01.

..it's a different world since 9-11-01...

You got that right, Theresa.

With red tape and pointless hassles driving people off planes and into (far more dangerous) cars for family holidays, one has to wonder whether the TSA has already been responsible for more deaths than Al-Qaeda?

July 18, 2003 U.S. highway fatalities increase Washington, D.C. - Highway fatalities in 2002 reached the highest level since 1990 while crash-related injuries hit an all-time low, the U. S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Thursday. Alcohol-related fatalities remained at 41 percent of the total with 17,419 deaths in 2002, up slightly from 17,400 in 2001. Historically, the majority of passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing safety belts; that trend continued in 2002 with 59 percent unrestrained
