PMSL LOL!!!! OK - point taken gracefully, especally having read this bit:
Thus some observers have termed this a hyperpower era in which other powers are having to learn how to deal with the United States, while the United States has to learn how to wield its power responsibly


Its true, I'd be out of a job if it wasn't for helping people 'deal with the united states'

It's funny how society says Airport Secuirty is no different since pre 9/11 and it really isn't. If anything it's just more of a hassel now. And soon as the goverment steps up with a new plan people automatically hate it.

You must not have flown since 911.... I have and let me tell you, it is WAY beefed up. They have dogs, every 5th person gets wanded... you have to x-ray your shoes now... it's not a hassle it's for your safety...

Now if they would just put snipers on the borders, we would be well protected...

Yeah, and you have your photo taken, then your fingers scanned, then you get given a card, then you wait in departures, then they take your pciture again, then they scan your fingers again, then they take your card off you, scan that, take your picture once more before giving anohter card back.........

Like I said, its good for employment in the local area, and also helps keep them flights nice and delayed.
