I'd like to reply to Mr. Selig's letter by telling him to go shove it. I doubt that he or any of his goons have the slightest understanding of what putting their lives on the line on a daily basis actually entails.

The attitude conveyed in that letter reminds me of the attitude conveyed by someone else... Does anyone remember the self-important guy who was the head of IAD security in the second Die Hard movie? That character seemed pretty "out of it" most of the time, and so does Mr. Selig.

While I personally don't wish for any terrorist activity to occur, I also wish for (and believe) that personal freedoms should be paramount to any fears, real or imagined. To me, this means that people should be allowed to stand on public property and photograph planes and the airport all they want. After all, pictures can do no harm.

Perhaps if Mr. Selig and his crack team of meter maids were more on the ball, they wouldn't have to lie to citizens and kick them off public property where they have a right to be?
