How about we just double scan anybody that has visited places like Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Somalia etc. in the last 5 or so years. That would certainly cut down on some of the useless screenings of granny. I'm flying to Texas next week from Virginia and I'm interested to see how much security has tightened up since flying in June to Colorado. Every time I have flown since the famous shoe bombing Reid, I've had to remove my shoes. I say we just all fly naked and leave doubt in the dust. Just don't point and laugh.

I like it!

Seriously, when I was in college not long after Oklahoma City, I wore a crew cut and used my BSA backpack as a carry-on bag. Nice camo green colored bag. Want to guess how many times they had to hand inspect my carry-ons? How about every single time. No point in whining about it, though. I fit the profile of the times, and I appreciated knowing that if someone else who fit the profile was out to bomb a plane, they would catch him.

Is Cuba really a place that should be on this list? Not sure they support terrorism in that way. There would be a lot of European tourists (blond Vikings as Molly likes to say) caught up with the issue of Cuba.

That much said, you said you should pretty much add all of the "stans" as well as India - which would of course cause a huge number of businessmen a problem unless of course you looked at the color of their skin.
