Folks: have y'all gotten the memo that they do security stuff at the airport? Seriously, they do that now. Deal. And if you want to change anything about this fact, the way to do it is not by going to the airport and doing this kind of thing. The way to do it is through political action and Congress. And heck, through better engineering.



Many bad things are "just someone's job". I don't want to invoke the Nazis here, but it applies.

Congress isn't the only way to get things done, nor even the best. Assault on all fronts may be more effective than on one. Flanking was invented for a reason.

You're welcome to kid yourself into believing that this is just the way things have to be, and you can put up with people grabbing your kids and making them cry, and accusing your toddler of being a terrorist and/or explosives mule, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to stand by and tolerate that shit.
