Well...You do live in Texas. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 09:18 17
- Oddly you would think the people here I deal with would be ok with this - it - Capstern Nov 16, 09:21 16
  - having a choice to opt out of a search by refusing to fly does not in and of itself make the search "reasonable" - znufrii Nov 16, 09:29
  - People just like to scream. It's the cost of flying in a post-9/11 era, plain and simple. - JaxSean Nov 16, 09:23 12
    - And herein lies the crux of the argument. Is this *really* securing us, or is it wasteful security theatre? -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 09:25 6
      - This seems a lot better than the old "take off your shoes" stuff. - Ender Nov 16, 09:31
      - I thought that article someone linked yesterday about the Israeli method was telling. There are definitely better ways to do - decline Nov 16, 09:28 1
        
        A friend pointed out that the Isreali method would be difficult to scale to the size of the US. - ty97 Nov 16, 09:29
      - Either way, it boils down to the terrorists win. - JaxSean Nov 16, 09:27 2
        
        Why does it have to be one or the other. How about having smarter security and efficient security and stuff that isn't wasteful fear bullcrap. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 09:29
        
        It's not a binary situation. There's a C option: Use different method to secure us. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 09:28
    - Anal search! It's ok though; it's the cost of flying. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 09:24 4
      - If you don't like it, then you don't fly. Drive instead. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 09:25 3
        
        I won't if I can help it. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 09:29

  - Texas (historically) tends to have libertarian conservative leanings. The neo-religious conservative takeover is more recent. - ty97 Nov 16, 09:23
  - you're surprised Texans don't like it, really? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 09:23
