And, yeah, I wouldn't mind being 'randomly selected for additional screening' every other flight I take if the people doing it weren't so incompetent. I was particularly impressed the time I was waiting for my 'additional screening' and the swab they took from the little old lady in front of me triggered an alarm, and they all ran around like headless chickens trying to figure out what to do.
This is why I just avoid flying these days. The terrorist have, indeed, won.
