Hi i'm brand-new to FT and thought to throw in my 2c. I'd personally like to thank the screeners for everthing they do everyday. You have to deal with lots of crazy business-people that don't know a hill of beans about security, they like to "micromanage" their way through process. I'm quite the liberal yet I don't feel my liberties are being violated. I've purchased and flown on more tickets than ever since 2001. Don't worry about folks that threaten to not fly because your doing your job. With a country approaching 300 million i'm sure someone will take their place on the plane. Overinflated self-importance of some always did bother me. I also don't blame screeners for the major airlines woes. The carriers were in trouble long before the tragic events. Well that's my 2c.
Cheers!!
