[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1918590, member: 42"] Oh I hear you...all the stories make it sound like a nightmare. Kind of like all the internet buzz about Glock's KBing, if you went off the internet buzz you'd never buy a Glock. But once you look at the actual number of Glocks on the street and compare to the "this guy on the internet told me..." stories, the problem doesn't seem as big. Same thing is at play here. According to statistics something to the tune of 1.7 Million...Million...people boarded a domestic flight [I]every day[/I] on average in 2010 in this country....that's 1.7 million people passing through a TSA checkpoint every day. That puts things in perspective, for me at least. Do we have a problem with federal government over-reach? Yes. Does TSA have management and counter-terrorism philosphy/methodology issues? I think so. But that's not enough to keep me from conducting my business. The biggest thing keeping me from flying for pleasure these days is the cost...costs way to dang much to move my family via air. Even with gas prices the way they are, it's cheaper for me to drive.
