<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Passengers and airline executives including Continental Airlines Chief Executive Officer Gordon Bethune have called the checks redundant and intrusive.
``For some reason TSA thinks that dumping out our passengers' underwear at the gate after it has already been dumped out at the security screening checkpoint makes TSA look like they are on top of things,'' Bethune said in a speech to the Wings club of New York in June.

Do CEOs think that making stupid sounding comments like that improve their image?
Last time I checked they were "searching bags" not "dumping underwear." This idiot's comments make it sound like we shouldn't have any security at all.
