Security is way past the point of laughable.
No airline or governmental agency seems to have a clue that confiscating petty personal items and medical supplies which have never been given a second thought and were never a problem is not the solution. It only creates longer lines, delays and passengers who are
rapidly becoming disgusted and flying less.
What does it take to get the point across? They can't keep searching all carryons.
X-raying checked bags is fine, but what will the proceedure be when they detect something which "looks" suspicious? Ask you to open the bag or just blow it up? Why does the media focus on how much travelers appreciate and welcome all this aggravation? Have you ever seen they interview anyone who really unloaded a negative opinion? I will be making another 7 hour drive next week as my own way of prostesting this * *.
