mdtony,
It might be true that this is how the game is played right now, but that is no reason for us to not comment on the stupidity of our gov's reaction. We can still be suportive of the gov while being critical of actions. Otherwise we will never get those actions corrected.

plato90s, We should not just accept stupid rules. To do so just needlessly increases costs. (many more than that 28000 will be needed to do what congress has passed and try to decrease wait time, even if the number of flyers doesn't return to previous numbers.) Also it decreases the chance to really focus in and defeat the real threats!

Also mdtony, I still don't see that we will get significantly better screeners. The majority of comments from mineta and gov unions, admit that many of the current employees will be brought over.
