That's why people like Mike Boyd voice their opinion through web blogs and don't often get invited to comment on television (or get treated rudely when voicing contrary opinions).
The only reason why they do these stories anyway is to follow up on a TSA press release. It is easy to fint the "Anything to keep us safe crowd" at the airport. A business traveler is too busy to talk to a reporter at the airport. THey also do the majority of these stories during holiday periods when more of the Ma and Pa kettles are flying.

Didn't CNN cover the guy who was detained for writing "Kip Hawley is an idiot" on his Freedom Baggie?
