"I fully support and like to work in a safe and secure environment," said Jack Koller, a 29-year-old government worker from Washington who waited 15 minutes for a screener to search his baggage at Reagan National. "I'll make the necessary sacrifices to make it happen."You mean like learning to carry and shoot a gun? No, of course not. When will people learn? No "sacrifice" you can make will take the risk out of life, but your best bet is to learn to take care of yourself, not relying on government to do it for you.
The only thing our new so-called "security" has accomplished is to create thousands of new govt jobs.

I agree with you 100%. I was on vacation last week and was sitting across from the gate flying to Washington, DC. I was told that once you were in that seating area, you couldn't leave (WTF). I then watched as the passengers boarded the plane..... the TSA guards pulled an old black woman out of the line and searched her bags, had her remove her shoes and did the wand search. The next was a white guy, about 40 in a blue business suit. "Let's see..... if I don't want to find a problem and satistfy my quota, I want to choose them." Mean while, a male 18-40 of Middle Eastern decent, boards the plane without any hassle. Instead of government zeroing in on the problem, they create another problem.
All you guys flying out of Atlanta should feel save. The ex-Police Chief from Philadelphia and LA is in charge of the operation there. This is the same person that couldn't pass the Civil Service Exam while in LA. The City Council had to pass a special revision to allow him to carry a firearm. I sent the TSA an email asking if Williams was finally able to pass the test or was a waiver granted. I didn't really expect a reply.
I can see the hand writing on the wall.... Nationalized Airlines. They can then do as they choose.
