I dont get it DO-28. I understand that many small commuter flights of an hour or two do not have lavs but that is no reason to restrict use of one on a plane so equipped. There is some well thought out ideas being implemented to improve security and a ton of poorly thought out, knee jerk reactions that do not address security problems but are just an attempt to look like you care about security. Many times in the last month I have seen silly ideas enforced as "security" and many people react with the party line - it wont hurt you, you do not need lavs, nail clippers, DCA etc. Often the response is that these are difficult times and we need to be patient and accept inconvenience as part of the process. I travel extensively for work and believe me I am willing to be inconvenienced, delayed or denied the little comforts of travel to guarantee my security and that of others - however it should be meaningful security. We need to let our representatives know that efforts need to be concentrated on real security issues not simplistic measures that do not address the real problems.
