I will have to remember this the next time that I get a pat down going through security.

Well now you will know why they are patting you down -- they are looking for the training bomb they lost earlier in the day.

BOTTOM LINE: It's a feel good program that in reality does not and can not work given all the opportunities for screw ups.

However, it seems to be working. I heard a report this morning that puts holiday air travel at pre 9-11 levels for the first time since 2001.

I just hate it that so many innocent people lost their jobs due to the drop in overall travel after 9-11. It just "fries me" that a hand full of "rectal orifices" (relavtively speaking) could make life so miserable and time consuming for the rest of us. As Matrix and Ohio Racer would say: BASTARDS!

Just curious...working in what respect? Making us safer or making us FEEL safer?

I can just hear the question as they are patting you down:

"Are you happy to be patted down or is that just a training bomb in your pocket?"

That line strikes me funny..... sounds like something the British may well have said about the colonies.
