#1, The average person does not want to sacrifice themself. You have 1 guy with a gun holding 20 people hostage. Can they take him? Sure, he has 7 bullets, there are 20 of them, even if he had 1 kill per bullet, they could still take him. WHo in the group wants to be the first to die? None of them.. So they sit.

And i must agree, 4 hours in line blows, but it sucks just a little less than being used as an anti-skyscraper missle.

My dad is a managerfor the screeners at a local airport. trust me, they only exercise a small portion of the authority they have. Did you know that they are federal agents, and as such, if you got irrate with them and started harrasing them, you are technically committing a felony?

the flip side of this whiole thing is that while they will make you leave your metal nail file and pocket knife before boarding, it is up to their discression as to wether or not to say anything to you if youhave drugs. you could have a pound of cocaine, and they arent required to say a thing.

God help them if my Dad catches them, though....He wanted to be a cop, and instead spent 4 years in the army and 19 in the Air Force. he personifies "Zero Tolerance".

It's a good thing there are no nonsense guys like your father running the show.[at the airport] Most of the screeners I've seen are just going through the motions.

I think because of all the violence that has occured involving children over the past few years, society has become over sensitive to anything related to it. Problem is it is almost impossible to avoid whithout contradicting ourselves. Just look at all the people who won't even let their kids participate in Halloween activities because of the horror connection!


Society is systematically taking all the joy out of childhood and sheltering kids from the realities of life. No wonder so many kids lack self control.
that is seriously true i mean if someone is sheltered like that they cant handle the realities of life if there not perpared for it. which i was sheltered but not as much as the kids today. its a bad thing
