Reporters managed to smuggle knives onto fourteen airline flights over Labor Day weekend without getting caught. They also brought pepper spray through security checkpoints. TV reporters used leadlined bags (with nothing in them) without getting called on it.
But when Margie and I fly, we get zapped for every corkscrew and pair of sewing scissors we inadvertently have in the bag.
Figures.
UPDATE: Doyce and Blather both express their disgust much more humorously than I do.

My parents were randomly chosen for a search on their way up to visit last week. They made my father undo his pants (w/out privacy) and remove his shoes. Both their carry-ons was also searched.

I’m so glad they were doing that while the reporters were getting on the planes with utility knives and pepper spray.

*were* also searched

And because it’s the most public part of the Security stuff, it discredits the whole idea of security.
The only thing that’s going to save the whole TSA/DHS concept is (I hate to say it) another major attack. And the Feds will have nobody to blame but themselves.
