And you will continue to be baffled, for this is the crux of the dichotomy; and for those on either side, the thinking behind the other side's position is essentially incomprehensible.

I object to and resent the impositions and (perceived by me) indignities in the Name of SecurityŠ just because I want to fly from A to B. Nothing I can say by way of explanation or justification of my feelings will have the slightest effect on those who do not share my point of view. And the opposite is true, you will never convince me that I should meekly accept your 'simple little things', let alone willingly embrace them.

But we will continue to use bandwidth in a vain attempt to do so. Not altogether a bad thing though, if it can be done with respect.
