Don't get me wrong ... I don't think it'll be a big deal, either. But reminding folks that "this is a common activity" is probably a good idea ... especially when the same security apparatus keeps telling people to "report anything unusual" ...
i agree completely but the tsa goes on the attack when it comes to "report anything suspicious" and the media picks it up so in turn, the kettles and sheep can be informed and made to feel safe but how many people (save f/t'ers of course) actually read the tsa website
