Id have to agree that the armored doors and the marshals are the two good security measures that have been put into place. The, sometimes grossly long lines at security have become a bit overboard. A relative that lives in Providence, RI told me this mornign that half of the flights that left the city left without 1/3 of their passengers because they were all stuck in security lines. I do think that it is important, but i also think that some cities need to find a way to get it done and get people on the plane without having to get to the airport even more than 2 hours before for a domestic flight</font>
It doesn't help the lines when the Unionized Federal TSA screeners are taking sick outs and slowing the process intentionally to make a point about the upcoming layoffs. The whole fiasco in Seattle a few weeks back magically straightened itself out after they hired a few more people back.
There is a famous phrase in these parts..."Good enough for Gov't work."
