Oye...do I even want to respond...

Its pretty friggin' easy to figure out who the most likely targets are
and if they search me, as johnny sixpack, I don't care, but I'm
talking about "private room" searches and its bullshit. They even
tried to take a Congressional Medal of Honor from an 80+ year old
because it had points on it! NONE of these preflight precautions will
do shit to stop another 9/11. What will stop another 9/11 is the
people on those planes not screwing around - its assumed now that if
your plane gets hijacked you have the choice of fighting or
dying....pretty easy question to answer.

You're not likely to ever find a gun or bomb up the ass of any 12 year
old, even one wearing a towel on his head.
