	Last time I took the airlines was summer of 2001. Never got searched or
anything, guess I have an innocent looking face. :) Seen plenty of other
folks get searched though. My sis flew a few times, later on, and got
searched quite frequently. I've decided I'm not taking the airlines ever
again unless it's some kind of emergency or something. I'd actually
rather drive I think. Hasn't anyone in the lobby groups or privacy
groups figured out these random searches qualify 100% as unlawful search
and/or seizure and are therefore totally unconstitutional? Or that the
whole point of terrorism is to incite terror, and the occasional
physical attack is merely a means to an end, and that by our freaking
out and throwing in a bunch of ridiculous, unconstitutional "feel good"
security measures, we are in fact fulfilling the terrorists' intents???
