Just because someone spends 3 days of a week flying does not mean they should be treated any different. That's like every business man in the world being able to say "I'm better than you are". Why can't everyone be treated equal? Are we not all human. </font>
I've never understood this passion for treating all people the same. Call me a racist if you want but I have always and will always treat people differently. I treat the 92 year old grandma different than the 24 year old construction worker. I treat the person in a wheel chair different than the infant in a stroller. I’ll always treat all people with respect, so just give me a break if I don't treat everyone equal!
If a terrorist is mind bent on a target, they will be able to compromise any security system. Do any of you remember an Egyptian pilot taking a jumbo jet with passenger to a quick demise over the Atlantic? Was he part of a bigger plot? In hindsight I’m sure there are a lot of questions and answers in some government file. My point is, even with the most stringent security nothing could have stopped that insane person. If any security system can be compromised then why are we hassling 99.99% of the passengers that just want to go from point A to point B? Can’t we find a better way to accomplish the same level of security that won’t make the vast majority of the travelers suffer? I’m certain that we can, I just hope that TSA figures it out soon.
