This nonsense is the reason I don't think government should get sovereign immunity. I don't give a .... what you do, you still answer to the people.
I have half a mind to give them a piece of my mind on Propaganda Village (in response to the bomb threat post)....but they'll probably have me disappeared to gitmo or something

. Here's what I was going to post:
I would give up the nonsense security we have now IN LESS THAN A SECOND if given the chance. I believe I speak for all reasonably frequent flyers when I say this. I invite you to go take a look at your agency's reviews on any frequent flyer blog. They are anything but positive. Your implementation of the rules are arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable and inconsistent. As for "inconsistency" as a "layer of security"? That's complete crap.
Oh, and I'm still waiting for the complete list of rules and procedures that one must follow when one goes through your circus. And the answer to all previous posters' questions. Your agency's propaganda is so transparent anyone can see through it.
Enjoy.
