I always find it very rich when an Australian refers to the USA as the land of the paranoid or the LOTFAP...
This is coming from people that live in a nanny state as well. They are the only other country besides the USA that requires foreign airports do secondary at-gate screening to make sure no liquids are brought on board aircraft. And now they have joined the Nude-o-Scope club. Add to that ridiculous amounts of safety reminders, plethora of red light and speed cameras, drug dogs at clubs, pubs, etc.

When I traveled with my cat, it did get me out of the NoS and I was put straight through the WTMD....
...I think I have a new business plan.... rent a pussy.... I'll lend you my cat, let you carry her through the WTMD, and I'll collect her airside. All for $50...

Yeah, those long, long security lines where they bark at you and force you to remove your shoes so you can do a little dance for their entertainment; not being able to take more than a tiny amount of liquid through security; non-pax not being able to go to the gate as a matter of course for domestic flights. The list goes on...
