If you think the TSA and the joke called airport screening is as much an unavoidable "reality in life" as the weather, I have very bad news for you. If this keeps up, either TSA is going to be completely overhauled or the air travel system in this country is going to collapse. I think you know which one is more likely to happen.

It's not childish to make those suggestions, it's childish to just keep your head down and accept a nanny state's absurd circus acts simply because they, at a cursory level, help you sleep better.
