What's really bizarre about this is how proud everyone seems to be about how Gore "cooperated" with security. If he were truly courageous, he would have told them to shove it. Checking a former Vice President of the United States as if he might be a terrorist is a complete waste of resources -- and of our tax money, which pays for those resources. This nonsense has got to stop!

I have noticed something interesting... A lot of high profile people in DC and NYC seem to get "selected" for additional screening, despite the fact that I know Goldie Hawn (otherwise a scary person) is not a likely risk. A lot of these people buy one way, last minute-tickets, so that may be why CAPPS is selecting them, but the gate screenings are not highly efficient.
