It's the other airports where I have problems. It's at the other airports where people bark at travelers to remove their shoes. It's at the other airports where I wonder if I'm going to have to go through secondary screening because not removing shoes equals a secondary screen.
If all the airports were MSN, there would be no complaining. But many travelers don't know that -- and those travelers remove their shoes and belts without even thinking about why they're doing it. That makes them sheeple, sorry to say, and there's no way that term is on the same level as the racist terms that another poster mentioned.
If you can't adjust to other airports, then whose fault is that? Do you expect everything in life to accomodate you? Again, this is not realistic.
As for the term "sheeple," I don't think it's racist; however, I do think it's condescending and reflects an arrogant attitude on your part. I tend to regard your so-called sheeple as pretty smart. After all, who is it that goes through security without hassle and who is it left standing wondering whether or not to remove a pair of shoes?
