I agree Ultralights. In my job we do a lot of positioning through the US, EU and ME. The crap we have to go through now just to board an aircraft has become the No. 1 topic of conversation (read 'gripe') amongst crew.
what kind of mentality are we fighting that will happily use an innocent baby to smuggle explosives on an aircraft or anywhere, in their fight to convert or kill all infidels? sadly they have no morality, and use our moral standings and hard earned freedoms against us.
Sadly you are 100% correct. And your last sentence sums it up aptly.
