If true, this is interesting...

Apparently it doesn't take much to be labeled as "An Enemy of the People."

I'm pretty dubious that this is for real, especially since this is based on the opinion of a TSA employee. Especially since the guy whines about how his luggage got lost, and how that just -can't- be a coincidence. Yeah, right!

I had a lot of security checks (including a special mark on my airline tickets winning me extra security!) post-911, which I'll presume are because of my Middle Eastern travels, but eventually it tapered off and now I don't get checked more than anyone else.

Even if it is true, I would think it will taper off anyway. It draws attention when it doesn't. My bag was inspected every time I traveled, until this last time (at least no note telling me it was gone through -- )

We waste so much time on strange things. My mother has had 16 hip operations -- 15 on one side -- and she has titanium hips on both sides. Her card from the surgeon saying where the surgeries were, what they put in -- was not good enough. She had to flash her pudgy old lady hips to show the scars to get through last fall, going back to Arizona.
