Mikey, great job, I totally agree with you. It seems that common sense does not prevail when it comes to security.

Why tell a person drinking from a bottle of water to pour out the water but keep the plastic bottle because they are afraid of the contents, when the security person just saw you taking a drink from it? That's what happened to my fiancée in FLL recently.

When you tell the moron with the handheld wand that the metal rivets on your jeans are setting off the detector, and they don't understand what you are talking about, because they don't have a high enough IQ to understand what a rivet is, and you have to ask for a supervisor (which takes more time), please help me. That happened at LAX.

When a male security person goes through a woman's purse and holds up a round birth control pill holder and jokes about it to the other male security people is beyond belief. That happened to an attractive young lady at LGA in front of me on line. She was extremely upset over the way they treated her.

This isn't security, it's a side show at the circus that doesn't protect anyone.
