Ditto that. Dog and pony shows, undressing, and pat-downs aren't supposed to be a part of the fun trip on an airplane. Takeoffs and landings are supposed to be the only exciting parts.

Herr Shrub is acting like a member of that other party, Mark. What's the diff? Toss out ALL those bums.

I had read about this--it was a big topic for a week in photo NGs--and had one more disturbing thought, beyond the absolute arrogance of the WalMart employee, the local fuzz and the SS. It is OUR money paying for these idiots to act like this.

Kenneth Lay? (And how's his trial going, anyway?)

Damn straight! Resist!

Indeed.

This, I do not believe for a second.

If any particular demographic is exempted from security then someone wishing to get a bomb on a plane merely has to trick a person from that demographic into carrying th bomb on for him.

Of the last three aircraft destroyed in flight by bombs all three bombs were carried on by white women. A fourth attempt was thwarted--also a white woman. At least two of those four did not know they were carrying a bomb.

This can certainly be inferred by the various actions proposed by members of that party. Who was it who pushed so hard that all federal baggage screeners should be federal employees? It can also be inferred by the reaction that members of that party have exhibited to other similar events. While many of the current republican party are exhibiting statist trends, with the exception of activities that tend toward what used to be called immorality, the reaction of the democrat party has always been statist -- more regulation, more government control,and less individual freedom in the realms of economic, political, or personal property rights.

Nowhere in my post did is say "it's all the fault of the democrats". What I said was that the alternative to the current party in power would have been worse. ... and I'm not crazy about what the current party in power has done in this regard.

I recall seeing something like that at Cleveland Hopkins a while back. They had something like a vending machine that sold pre-paid padded envelopes and a place to drop them to be mailed.

Dunno if it is still there.
