My point exactly...it's disgusting to me with everything else going on in the world today that you think being detained for 25 minutes is a civil liberty injustice.

Why don't we let everyone fly without ID so even the terrorists can have their privacy! Free movement and association? Are you kidding me?

You know what has me so worked up about this post? It's that most of you complaining about being inconvenienced...having to wait a few extra minutes to get to your first class seat so you can get a free drink in your hand, take your freedoms for granted.
Sorry if I take offense to your minimizing the importance of remembering the deaths of Americans and lessons learned. I bet you'd feel real good if your rantings about inconvenience reduced security enough to let it happen again.
