"One of the problems they're having is the uniformity of the process, and I think this is an example of that."

In other words, one of the problems they're having is that most of the screeners have an IQ of about 80, and don't speak English.

You are thanking the wrong person. How about Osama Bin Laden? He is the one responsible for this mess. But the man should have been allowed his clippers. Have a nice day!

"...Miller complained to an American Airlines official, and Miller said the official responded he was too busy to help..."

If I had Registered's talent and equipment I'd produce a graphic of myself lounging in a First Class seat aboard an AA aircraft, looking out the window at a flock of pigs flying alongside the plane.

And I'd caption it, "When I fly American Airlines again..."

This is what happens when we can't profile. Therefore, we can't use common sense but apply an overly broad brush to everyone.

What a profound pronounce - oh swift one from the state that harbors and re-elects both Senators Kennedy & Kerrey.

Mineta still has this problem with American men in uniform. Sad to say, he has too many hang-ups to perform his job correctly.

He could've vetoed the airport security bill. He chose not to. Hence why we're stuck with barney fife security guards at our airports and why he isn't getting my vote in 04 for one of many reasons.
