The one area that I still think is most stupid is calling up nat guard troops at the airport. They are nearly completely wasted at airports and since many are civilian police officers, they would be much better used in their civilian capacity... This is the greatest waste of time and military training I have ever seen.

I agree. Immediately after Sept. 11, this
may have served to reassure the general public, but it's time for the gov't to be honest and terminate this deployment. This needless diversion of resources actually
reduces security significantly while ultimately increasing our tax burden.
