>>Simple questioning, yes, but not in the disgustingly intrusive manner we have been putting up with since the Bush admin saddled us with organisations such as TSA and DHS. People weren’t treated as if everyone was a criminal.<<
Of course we were. I was was frequent flyer before 9/11 and I assure you it was the same, just not with matching uniforms. In fact in some cases it was worse, since there wasn’t even a theoretical link between their jobs and us, the individuals flying.
You either didn’t fly much or disremember badly.
I remember very clearly. We weren't harrassed at airports pre-911
