Today I was talking to a friend and somehow the TSA came up and I had a sad realization. In the fall of 2004 I went to see President Bush speak when we has in town and I went through less screening (only a WTMD and quick hand inspection of my camera) than when I flew to PHX for vacation earlier this summer. Another sad thing is unlike the a lot TSA screeners the Secret Service screeners were fast, efficient, and somewhat friendly. Of course if anyone had tried anything during the presidential visit they'd ended up with more holes in them than Swiss cheese....
I would beg to differ with you on this post since the DNC came to Denver and TSA had to conduct A LOT of the screening. First of all none of those people that came to the political events had 3 carry on pieces of luggage/personal items. If the airlines would allow banning of carry on luggage you would see wait times at the check points drop to less than 5 minutes.
