Thanks for all the great imput. A lot of interesting answers. I really liked the reference to Benjamin Franklin (He just so happens to be one of my heros).

It sounds to me that none of you would be willing to give-up any of your freedom to feel secure. However, I think it's hard to argue that current security measures don't take away a sliver of our freedom: however so slight. In light of that:

[4] Do you think that current security measures are too restrictive, and if so how?

[5] What do you think the solution the our international security problem is? How would you go about fixing the current programs in place?

Pick up a copy of "Unsafe at Any Altitude" Fantastic read about airline security, past and present, and what went wrong on September 11th.

pick up a copy of unsafe at any speed by Ralph Nader and see about the difficulties of everyday life....

Dreamer, if you want to feel secure, you have to meet us half way...

A couple weeks after 9/11 a person I know went on a trip, and while waiting in line for security had to find a bathroom. Went through a side door that was open, down a hall way, and ended up on the other side of security.

Anyways. Lots of holes in airport security for sure, but honestly, I don't care. I am more likely to get shot on the street than I am to become a victim of a hijacking.
