I agree with you 100% Roy H. I am one of the many who go along with all the current rules despite genuinely believing that the lunatics are running the asylum and the terrorists have won the battle, on a scale they could not have imagined in their wildest dreams.
The "infidels" (us) are tying themselves in knots and are screwing their lives up in a fashion, and at a financial cost, that must be unparalleled outside of a world war.
We who sit back and go along with the rules "for a quiet life" should grateful that there are people that take a stand against security rules, which border on lunacy and are patently idiotic.
