Wow. You sound like another one of those people who believe everything the new media tells them. That little report on the news? The remark about "opting out of screening prosthetics, wheel chairs, and orthopedic shoes?" Wrong. They deliberately said screening, not x-ray. To mislead and scare you. You can't even fit a wheelchair in an x-ray machine. I have a relative with half of an arm missing. He leaves the artificial part on...and they still check it.

And when it says you can now "see what a CIA identification badge looks like"? Seeing a picture of it online is a far cry from being able to duplicate a government I.D. in anything more than a superficial manner. There are built-in security "features" that aren't *easily* visible, for one. Just like on your driver's license.

Try turning the television OFF. And while you are at it...shred your newspaper and stick it in the bottom of the bird cage, because that's about all it is good for anyway.

No, I don't see those guys at the TSA starting to making a bunch of changes over what happened.
