It isn't. You are making it more of an issue than it is, and there is a irony in your criticism of airport security in other countries and your criticism of health insurance in other countries. If you want to fight a battle, why not battle the conditions in your own country, which are far worse than in 'rest of world'? Most of the scanners (AMS for instance) as well as the silly question game are thanks to your own government, and those of us who don't fly to the US, and/or who don't fly US carriers, don't have to play those games.

And I believe that virtually every single person who responded to you on this thread ISN'T in good health, and has family or colleagues not in good health. We just don't think that your posts are accurate reflections of the actual situation.
For those of you who are healthy,please remain thankful for this when you encounter the unpleasant security issues as "road warriors"!
As I said to you on the other thread, the UK implemented this thanks to the US. The situation in the UK is not even remotely close to the situation in the US. Yes, one can opt out there, but the results are often very unpleasant and I will take my very regular flights from the UK anyday and am content that I no longer have multiple flights a week from US airports.

I have certainly NOT had 'trouble-free travel'. I have had countless bad experiences in my hundreds of flights but every single one of them was in the US, at US security checkpoints.
