Do I like waiting in long lines? No, I sure don't. Do I like having clueless idiots tell me that I have no right to request a hand search and having to insist upon that? No, I don't.

However, right now, that is the way the game is played. And that's the way most people want it, so that's the way it's going to be. They don't give a **** because they fly like twice a year, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so they don't understand that it's a royal pain in the butt for those of us who fly more often. Nor would they care. And they tell that to their reps, who vote on legislation to make them happy.

This is what most people want. And it's what they're going to get. We're outnumbered, buddy, so we just have to adapt.
