:roll: If people can't bother to research the requirements for flying (including what they can, and can't take on the plane), they deserve to be put through the ringer. This **** isn't rocket science, and these protocols exist for a reason.
No they don't. We take off our shoes because ONE GUY tried to blow up a plane with explosives in his shoes. We have nudie booths because ONE GUY tried to blow up a plane with explosives in his undies. Sorry, that's not a good enough reason for such a ridiculous waste of time and infringement on civil liberties.

You cannot have an effective comprehensive policy to reduce attacks on flights without screening everyone, without preferences.
No they don't. They look like young men who behave nervously and who come from Muslim countries or have recently traveled to Muslim countries. When has a woman or child EVER been involved in airplane bombing? Why must little kids be felt up by TSA officials, just so that we can pretend that terrorists look like everyone else?
