I support action to bring some sense to this whole security pretense!!

1.) We need unity on this matter (as on so many others)
2.) First step is to insist that every secuity screener has to go through the same process every time they want to pass through the checkpoint, just like all of us have to. That means if they go on a break or come back whatever! if they have to go from one side to the other they have to meet the conditions as we have to!
3.) Second every Law enforcement officer (Cop) has to meet the same conditions, who says the Cop uniform cannot be fake or stolen? and they cannot have their fire-arms, handcuffs, Pepperspray etc. back until they leave the sterile area.

As it is right now these folks consider themselves so high and mighty that they can set of all the bells and whistles and no-one lifts an eyebrow!(except of course the dumb flight-crews.

I believe this would be a good way to demonstrate what we have to tolerate day in day out.
