More on Airport Security
`Yankee Clipper` You are absolutely correct in all you say and I can not agree with you more. Many thanks for a most sensible and reasoned post on this very serious subject.
Regarding respect between all parties, a pleasent smile at the security check point and for example, a `good morning Sir sorry but I do need to check your bag` works wonders, this of course gets both of you on the same side. Unfortunately more often than not in my opinion this is not the case, you are more likely to be met by a sullen scowl and very few common courtesies if any at all. This is not allways the case, but more often than not I suggest and the courtesies must be both ways of course.
