The placement of a few terrorists in planes is all it took to create a government bureaucrasy that Al Qaeda knew would lead to near chaos . The shoe bomber....really? Now we have to even remove our shoes and pass through a gauntlet of ridiculous screening, delays , missed flights overwhelming stress billions in costs much on scanners that fail and a huge turnover of checkpoint people themselves a suspicious lot! This is a genius Al Qaeda non combat plan ,which is to make life as uncomfortable ashile cells work on bigger issues and targets. We are corralled like cattle and the enemy is hysterical as to how it has lead to a travel culture from hell. War is waged in varying degrees often creating unsettling fear a hallmark dating back to the Assyrians in 722 BC the perhaps first terrorists ( the same DNA as ISIS...hmmm).

And thus the ancient Islamic dream of forcing people to go barefoot for three minutes in airports was finally realized?

Now terrorists don't have to even get on a plane. They can just get in the screening line during a busy time with a couple of bombs as "carry on" luggage and another strapped to their chest. I figure they could easily kill more people in the terminal than by taking down an airliner. Two or three guys could wipe out everyone bunched up in the screening line.

Three or four bombs going off at the same time in the security line? Running where?

I guess on a plane everybody dies with a smaller terrorist force and less explosives. In a line how big an explosive has to be in the luggage to get the same body count? There were a very few casualties at the two LAX terrorist attacks

That's why we're driving 12 hours to NM for our vacation next week. Avoiding all the hassles of airplane travel makes the long road trip worthwhile. Ah, the joys of TSA
