As for what happens to your wife and mother, that is also disgusting and you have every right to be pissed.

Mike,

While we're talking math (sometimes not the easiest subject for those TSA-types), here's another question that's worth asking... "What percentage of travelers are terrorists?"

Or, put another way: "How many non-terrorist travelers are there per terrorist traveler?" Of course, answering this question would produce a divide-by-zero error.
