hello.

i have been lurking here for a while (posted a few times) but mostly just enjoy reading the insightful posts about flying and even learning some new tips to make travelling easier/more enjoyable. i have tried (and succeeded till now) to stay out of any heated security discussions, even though i do have some opinions. but i really must say something now.

do you really mean what you wrote, magexpect? i'm not trying to be disrespectful in any way (i promise) but i find it really hard to believe that 9/11 happened so long ago that you don't remember that PEOPLE DIED. a lot of people. are their families just paranoid? is the govt. now paranoid for wanting to keep it from happening again? you (and most others on this board as far as i can tell) may see dozens of inconsistencies and problems with security but i think most people in this country expected there to be other attacks on us by now and IT HASN'T HAPPENED.

now here's my question. could this fact be due at all (even a liitle bit??) to the new, time consuming, annoying, oftentimes inconsistent, and frustrating security that was put in place?

(of couse this question is for anyone not just magexpect)

thanks for reading.
