Newsstand - Screeners relax rules on airline carry-ons

Washington Times Article (http://washingtontimes.com/business/20031010-102937-5796r.htm)

"Passengers concerned about their own safety also act as eyes and ears for the agency.

"We have a much more aware and a much more vigilant traveling public," Mr. Turmail said."

Liar. You've disaffected so many people with your security harassment that no one wants to have any more to do with you agency than they absolutely must in order to fly. I'll never, ever lift a finger to help you punks unless my life is directly in danger, any more than I would consider aiding the North Koreans.

Jimmy Loy, you and Kim Jong Il are two of a kind.

Yeah, and how many times have these "eyes and ears" caused passengers to be denied boarding or removed from flights because they *looked suspicious*? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mad.gif

On the other hand, how many deranged drunkards have been beaten to a pulp and tied to a seat by other pax after trying to open the cockpit door? On the one hand they have a point in the above quote, but it has nothing to do with screeners.
