The little old white lady is inconvenienced everytime she shows up two hours early at the airport and has to watch as her underwear and nighties are examined.

Tough shit. We’re at war.

I’m sorry. I agree that we could improve our security measures, but nothing is going to make air travel fast, convenient AND safe any time in the near future. Do you know who that lady’s relatives are? Do you know what nice young man from the neighborhood may have helped her pack her bags? No. Neither do I.

There is no way to have the level of security we want, and have no one be inconvenienced.
