  I for one do not mind the security to prevent terrorists, but the foolishness has gotten out of control now....no fingernail clippers? no books? no newspapers? no water?
  It seems the aim of terrorism is to disrupt regular life and incovenience the population, and I put it to you all, the bastards have already won!
  I for one will be curtailing my air travel, just because I hate having the sercurity nazi's pry into my personal posessions, my lifestyle, and my background. I value some of my privacy still......travelling used to be SUCH a pleasure...
  
  Insert big sigh here...

  I think Chicken Little should be put on the no-fly list. He said the sky is falling and I have seen no evidence of this.

  I travel frequently and have joked with my wife that if I get any hassle from TSA I am simply going to strip and let them look me over.  But, I live in the "bible belt" and I'm sure the police would be there to arrest me immediately
  Here's an idea.  Segregate security by the sexes.  then it would be just like being in a common shower at a health club.

  I would strip naked, if it were allowed.
  Stripping naked doesn't solve the security problem.  There could be a bomb in a pocket in the clothing.

  Well Paw the Dog, it is amazing that as soon as Linda makes a post on here you jump to criticize it. We are all here to have fun and get along and it seems you just arent going to let the issues between the two of you drop. Why is that?

  after 9/11 when they went from private contracted security to the tsa they gave current screeners/security 1st go at the testing process. in the cleveland area testing the current screeners had about a 40% success rate at passing the testing. a part of the testing was a computer simulated program of items going thru the x-ray machine and you had to determine if there was anything danerous on the screen.

  [quote]In the wake of the latest scare in airline travel (the Christmas Day close call at the Detroit airport), Frederick S. Lane at Beacon Broadside says nudists have the right answer when it comes to airline security.   Many people don't want to submit to a pat-down. But the promise that our scanned bodies won't wind up on the Web somewhere may not sound convincing to some. Therefore, why not give people the option to simply present themselves naked? No pat-down, no photography, but definite assurances that nothing is being carried on the passenger's person that hasn't already been found in the clothing which the passenger can then put back on to board the plane.   Don't like stripping down? Well, you can always choose the pat-down or the scanner...[/quote]  Nice one… And actually a practical one… lol

Therefore , if you are a 28 years middle eastern with no wife or kids , who belong to a cretin religion , you have a greater chance to end up with a finger up your •$% Beside, crew members are submitted to security checks and closer eye of the authority.

  [quote][quote][/quote] Does they really think you can blow a plane with a 2 cc butane lighter??? Well , no. But take an aerosol can, a lighter and you have a pretty effective weapon to burn half the plane with it.( at 20.000 feet , very long time till the fire departments get there… )[/quote] Turns out that was  Henry Waxman's anti-smoking campaign. The TSA finally petitioned congress to allow them to look for true hazzards and not be the defacto smoking police. That's when that silly lighter ban went away.

  [quote]The future of safe air travel:Germany launches nude airline[/quote]    This reminds me of the New Zealand airline which had a safety video with all participants naked except for body paint which made it LOOK like they were in uniform. Imagine what the video would be like if it was aimed at naked PASSENGERS.
