Air Travel..

I flew home today after spending nearly a week at my parents house for the holidays.
As someone that flies quite a bit, I have no trouble pulling off my shoes and submitting to being scanned.

Two connecting flights, 4 hours worth of layovers and 2 hours worth of security isn't that big of a deal. One makes sure they're there early, wear comfortable clothing, easy to remove shoes and Voila'! Its much simplier.

They are called security measures for the precise reason to keep us safe. Ah yes, they constrain us, crimp our style and make us late. But, at the cost of being blown out of the sky, I would think we should be grateful for them.

We have not had an attack on domestic soil in 5 years. We have completely revamped our airport security, our customs, and our approach to passenger check in.

So why am hearing the bitter complaints of people not being allowed their whims?
Why does the general public care so little about their own safety?

They demand to be kept safe, yet they buck at any attempt to do so. They complain, they whine, they act mostly like spoiled children.

Shape up America, it's not all about you.
