One thing is certain. If people need to arrive at the airport 3 hours early for a one or two hour flight, the short haul carriers in the US are in deep, long term trouble. We need a national SIDA card now and we need to have rampers screened as well. I'm tired of seeing unguarded gates when we have guardsmen hanging around in the terminals. Other issues regarding stupid security workers have been beaten to death and we'll just have to deal with them
