HELOOOO? Quit Flying! ... unless it is purely business oriented or you have a family emergency

You're absolutely right. Until our trustworthy government has us completely protected, we can't step out of our houses! No more vacations! No more hassles! The tourism industry will flourish! Best of all, we get to get those filthy foreigners out of this blessed country! Glory be!

The almost tongue-in-cheek is about just that.

The Federal government cannot and will not be able to protect you as a citizen, even if they strip you nekkid, probe you from toenail to anus to cerebellum at every corner, every building or every airport.

The Federal government bureaucracy of the airport security type impedes nothing but the airline industry and associated services.

Until the asses who are screwed to their government jobs are "fire-able", from Fed Gov to Local City management, you as the citizen are screwed "every which way".
