Speaking from the perspective of an infrequent (commercial) flyer, I can only say this...
Since the 9/11 disaster, more people have been killed on US soil by TSA than have been killed by terrorists.
Good job or not, you decide.
Since Lockerbie, more people have been killed by miscommunication and poor maintenance than terrorists.
Good job or not, you decide.
Guns on planes? I'm on the fence - but I'd certainly be in favor of cooler attitudes and a lot more wrenches...
