I have not flown since 9/11 because of absolute disgust with the way "security" is being handled. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for many proceedures. Ordinary personal items we've flown with for years are now being confiscated "because". What will we do when the airports get machines that see inside our bodies and they want to inspect that, too? People profess to feel safe because the illusion is perpetrated on every level. The FAA issues some new edict AFTER an incident, not before. The airlines need to come up with prescreening safeguards
to simplify air travel. How many times have we heard that the FBI, CIA or INS had "concerns" or lost track of known terrorists before 9/11 but failed to act? It will be a long time before I fly again because I fear for my freedom.
