National news (CBS, I think) just did a segment on lines at ATL...5 hours, people missing flights even after being assured by airlines 2 hours was enough (didn't NW lower their recommendation to 90 minutes?)...of course what they don't go on to say is those people are probably out of luck. With reduced flight schedules and packed holiday planes, kiss your holiday destinations good bye...

And of course several shots of the rent-a-friskers ripping open these poor sheeples gifts with glee...

This is an embarrassment for Minetta, the FAA and the airlines. The witch-hunt for grannys with nailclippers is going to ruin the industry...the "appearance of security" may be cheap but it sure isn't efficient.

Glad I don't fly again until 1/8, my patience needs a break!
