Who else could complicate flying even more?

[Hallelujah]

Of course. The government and TSA!

I guess the current system wasn't working well enough since we've had so many hijackings/attacks since 9/11/01. Doesn't TSA have a security system in place that checks everyone as it is before they board a flight?

Next, they'll be giving their 'agents' a different color shirt and a mall security badge to make them look for like 400 lb police officers. Oh wait, that was last year.

Are you sure that English is your first language?

The TSA is a joke. I've known a couple of people who got Airport Security jobs. Let's just say they're not the razor-sharp tip of the US defense spear.

Homeland Security is - in principle - a good idea. But it's too bad that W. couldn't use it to phase out or reorganize the US intelligence community. Instead, he just added another agency that competes with all the others and can't communicate with any of them because everything is "classified."

I despise the TSA. My name is John Williams. I get stopped for extra security every time I fly. It gets annoying; I have a notarized letter from them that supposed to allow me to avoid the extra screening if I present it at the security counter; nope, no one has ever even agreed to look at it. They once screamed at my four-year-old daughter not to touch her Dora backpack because they were searching it. We've got a whole crop of nimrods in charge of our security.

I was referring to Hallelujah's obvious difficulty with the English language.....I'm thinking that perhaps his xenophobia is a case of the madam protesting too much.

So they should start profiling?

No, John Williams is a common name...so common in fact that if one John Williams gets on a list, we all do.

I'm not talking about your spelling, I'm talking about your difficulty with simple sentence structure and the woeful time you have with prepositions.
