I think what we frequent travelers are doing is letting the hysteria die down a little. It's fairly useless to try to have rational discussions with a hysterical person because he simply can't think straight.

That's the kind of mood many Americans are in right now, with regards to airport scurity.

Of course, frequent travelers realize how silly many of these new procedures are, but now is not the time to try to repeal it. If we tried, there'd be a hysterical response along the lines of "Don't you care about our airport security after what happened on September 11th!!!"

But these silly procedures will be repealed once common sense returns.
