A self-proclaimed nerd complains bitterly about our “security” at airports.
Talk to many people who are in-the-know in the airline security business and they’ll admit that the current system is kind of a joke. Don’t forget that airport security is federalized, so, in other words, the government is in charge of your in-flight safety. The long-and-short of the current system is this: Pretend you’re in an airport and all the screeners are members of Congress and FEMA. Feel safer?
You’ll be pleased to know that as a card carrying member of the U.S., I get treated exactly as poorly and stupidly as the rest of you when I fly commericial, and even worse when I fly a government chartered flight.
