And background to what we are facing:
The US has become extremely zenophobic, and maybe is about to plunge the world into a major conflict (but then again maybe it will be a cake walk).
The Air Marshal service is losing personnel fast, due to the tough rosters, and they have reduced the qualification training, so the standard is dropping, and very few flights have air marshals on board.
25 to 40% of all 'weapons' are missed at the security checkpoints.
The FBI, police forces and even the Secret Service are losing qualified persons who are going to join the new TSA. So now, instead of hunting murderers, robbers, kidnappers and the like, the country's finest will be hassling grandmothers and confiscating nail files at the airport.
But the traveling public believes that things are safer than before 9/11.
Am I the crazy one, or is it everyone else?
