Because i think it is not and that is why i posted this thread.....i think that this board is skewed to the CON side tremendously. I feel most pax want tough/safer screening, but in here it seems the opposite.
Now certainly that point could be argued ("Most pax want tough security"). I will do some digging and see if i can bring forth some data as opposed to just my interactions with my own flying demographic and my opinion.
But are you then saying this board represents the overall and general views of the flying public?
Actually Flyertalkers are a better representation of the real flyers, those who fly most, contribute most revenue, and see everything many time, enough to judge when it is being done wrong. Airport security is wrong in every possible way, mainly because it was born from politics and fear, instead of a calm, rational approach. The "security" personnel are not much different than you'd find at a grocery store or McDonalds, poorly trained and even more poorly supervised. Only those of us who have logged millions of miles can make that judgement.
