DMB, your response is better than my flippant comment deserved.

I still, however, am not a TSA fan and am cross at our nation's increasing loss of liberties on multiple fronts.

krgystn,

I share your concerns. Unfortunately, flying is one area that seems attractive to those that want to do us harm and as a result our liberties suffer on many fronts.

I enjoy travelling and I have come to accept that I have to do stupid stuff (like take my shoes off, or 3-1-1) for the pleasure of going places and experiencing new things.

Appreciate your response and hope you won't let TSA's sometimes ineptness stop you from seeing the world :)
