Hey let's get a grip here. I totally agree that some of the TSA folks are on a power trip (in fact, some are real jerks), some of the stuff they do is ridiculous nit-picky stuff and that all of that screening doesn't guarantee that another 9/11 type incident won't happen. But if you think for a minute that if we just open the plane doors and let everyone just walk aboard (with a ticket of course) that we won't have more human missles flying into skyscrapers, think again. And how would you have liked being on one of those 4 planes on 9/11? Sure it can and probably will happen again, but all of that hassle does cut down on the chances and number of times it may happen. And as much as a lot of us fly, cutting down on the chances is a good thing. That's my two cents worth.
