And why, exactly, would it be a problem for these people to be on a commercial aircraft? I would guess that any aircraft with Bin Laden himself on board would be one of the safest flights in the sky at that particular moment.

I'd even fly coach to be able to listen to his stories on a transcon.

I wouldn't have any qualms about turning him in upon arrival, but wouldn't have and fears about sharing airspace with him.

TSA would save more lives if they turned their jobs back over to Argenbrite and placed a TSO with nutrition pamphlets at the door of every fast food outlet.

Statistically, TSA is a massive waste of time and money at the task for which they are now deployed.

If anyone really has a desire to save lives or make the world a better place, TSA is not for them. On the other hand, if they are content with imagining that they are saving lives, TSA is just that place. Or possibly as a white witch in some massive multi-player on-line game.
