While I don't like the TSA and am one of the more prolific on this board, any comparison to Nazis is outrageous and unfair. The policies may be outrageous and common sense often goes out the window at the airport, but bringing out the Nazi label just invalidates the several good arguments that are made here every day about why the TSA doesn't serve its intended purpose. There is a term, which currently slips my mind, that essentially says that the person who brings up the Nazis in any argument automatically becomes the loser of that argument, given the atrocities committed by the Third Reich.

Sorry Spiff, I normally agree with you, but I think you missed the mark here.

Mike
