The problem is, there's allegedly "no money" to do things that would make a real difference. However they do toss your luggage about in public, confiscate anything larger than a toothpick, and yet the real threats of cockpit breech and baggage containing some noxious or explosive substance are virtually ignored. What a way to run an airline! I was very amused at what a few passengers were carying in their luggage, much to the embarrassment of the passenger who was being checked. I got a very interesting stare from the young lady when she rifled through my underwear....... I think you get my point.

The bottom line is the terrorists have won, because they have taken away our freedom to the privacy of what we carry in our luggage, how we travel and how early we have to leave to do so.
