That doesn’t follow. Paulian crybaby nonsense notwithstanding, it’s entirely reasonable and rational to evaluate the costs and benefits of these security measures. There’s been precious little of this, or even indication that it’s taken place behind closed doors. Any threat, no matter how trivially unlikely, must be defeated by ever-expanding banned-item lists and chemical sniffers, backscatter X-ray machines, trained frown-reading monkeys, etc etc etc.

I’m not saying that the system is perfect. Or if you got the impression that’s what I meant, it’s not. I realize it’s a work in progress.

But I think we should all realize it’s a work in progress. They’re trying new technologies and new methods all the times and we just have to be patient about it. That’s if you’re going to fly.
