Oh God (or Allah, or The Force, or whatever or whoever it is you worship) forbid we treat anybody any differently than anyone else lest we be deemed an unfair society that practices racial and religious discrimination.

Hopefully when President Obama frees up some time in his schedule when the whole healthcare thing is put to bed he'll work on cleaning house in the DHS and TSA and get some people in there who will actually work on making the system more secure and not just play these games of what more they can do to give people the illusion of safety. They've been hand searching more carry-ons and performing more pat-downs and yet the majority of the cargo that flies just inches beneath our feet is still not searched at all or to the extent that a frail old grandmother in a wheelchair is.
