Therefore public officials, congress and the President have been given cart blanche to do whatever they wanted in the name of security.<br /><br />I am also surprised at those who think if you opt out for a pat down that will distract from other security. Supposedly there is division of labor in the security. Since these procedures are random there is a high probability they could miss a terrorist if there was one, so I don't get why quite of few people believe they are safer. <br /><br />At the airport I fly out of has just caught airline employees stealing stuff during searches of luggage. They didn't get caught on the first offense, so my concern if they could get the contraband out, just what could they bring in. Apparently background checks don't stop peoples propensity to commit crime. I would say the same for terrorism. <br /><br />I think the fear of flying has now been replaced with the fear of terrorism, if they think terrorism is being abated, then the fear of flying is also. Its our primate fear of falling. <br />This is probably far fetched, but if these security procedures are necessary for flying why isn't it, for taking the train or the bus?Hathorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657524404057819428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33772570.post-58799146342535912992010-11-24T15:37:58.334-05:002010-11-24T15:37:58.334-05:00It's a damn shame that the US Government would...It's a damn shame that the US Government would want to fine anyone for deciding that they don't want to fly and opt out of both the scan and pat down.
