All;
You are all 100% correct. But let's be realistic. How quickly can you change a nation's entire Airport Security System?
In Europe, security is controlled by the government and here in the U.S, it's controlled by the airlines. This means people currently running security are paid minimum wage and turnover is high. Last year at Logan in Boston, it was over 200%.
Things will change. They already are. It just can't and won't happen overnight though, as much as i wish it could.
Thanks from somebody who went to "Ground Zero" this past week and is still trying to get the smell of human flesh, dust, dirt and destruction out of their clothes.
We're doing the best we can right now under the circumstances.
