This is plain and simple class warfare. Some -- not all -- of these rent-a-gropers have waited all their lives to abuse the generally more successful population of air travelers. The more successful you look, the more they want to abuse you. Making matters worse, many of them know that their days are numbered because they won't qualify to be screeners under the new law (must be a U.S. citizen, clean record, etc.). So they take their best and often last shot at getting revenge.
I continue to wonder how long the Anmerican sheeple will put up with this nonsense. I suspect that the ranks of those who "welcome" the new "security" measures must be shrinking all the time.
