Well then if you don't agree, why waste the time to type it?

Until your country has an El Al type of security, you have holes in your security apparatus also. Your pinko commie analogy is a bit over the top. I am on the road 150 days a year, that means I am subject to 150+ inspections per year. Other than head of the line privledges, I am subject to the same inspection every one else is. While I question my requirement as a pilot to have to be inspected, I accept that I must. Unless you travel within the US to this degree, then I have to believe my experiences far exceed yours with US security. Care to disagree? The actual inspection takes about 30-45 seconds and that includes removing shoes.
Your hyperbole and antecdotal stories aside, I find the screeners to be professional and not interested in my political affiliations. I am also not stupid enough, ala Air France to jokingly say I have a bomb in my flight case.

On another note...

The physical fires have been contained, the fire at city hall is just starting to burn as it is deduced why San Diego has a second rate, under staffed fire department with no air assets when the fires started. That one will be burning for awhile. The Ceder fire (the monster one) made it about 1 1/2 to 2 miles from the house.
