And I'll say it again: No. In fact, I'll make it a little clearer: GET STUFFED. Since you claim to know ASL, I'm sure you're familiar with a gesture involving one's middle finger; that's my answer.

I am NOT going to stop flying and I am NOT going to stop trying to reverse the disgusting "security" procedures that are currently being used at airports. The procedures are stupid. They are not well-thought out and they are unnecessary.

News flash, brightboy: An airport is not a courthouse. Maybe you're happy in some sicko "All Security All the Time" world, but I'm not. As for the policeman pulling me over analogy, I don't get pulled over every other trip to work. I don't get randomly pulled over and searched. Maybe you'd like random, no-knock searches of people's homes, too? It would be for the 'public good'!

If you want to live in a prison society, I have three words for you: MOVE TO CHINA.

whine whine whine...is that all your capable of doing?? I'll say again, STOP FLYING IF YOUR UNHAPPY WITH SECURITY. I know American Sign Language and French, do I need to say it in one of those languages??

You keep missing the point, security procedures are here to stay. Do you also do a whine whine "it's all about me" dance when entering a courthouse, you get screened there too. You sir, do not have an inherent right to prance through an airport however you please. It is a public place with procedures for a public good. You don't run the show, THEY do. Do you mouth off at the police officer when he/she pulls you over? Based on your whiny attitude about airport security, I bet you do. It's about d*** time Americans got a kick in the pants, it was LONG overdue.
