The security that has been put in place is not only unconstitutional, it's 
also COMPLETELY ineffective. While sitting at the gate I watched a woman 
knitting with a pair of 12" long spikes, a guy at a pizza place cutting a 
pizza with a LARGE knife, and a burger place selling biological weapons 
(billed as "food". Yeah, right). Why is it that my wife, with a 9 month old 
baby, got searched 100% of the time?!? It doesn't take a genius to figure 
out that someone, possibly the FAA, has managed to use the public's fear to 
get away with this. Not only that, but it's ILLEGAL to even give your 
opinion about security. Now there's a bill that wants to keep GA AC from 
flying over populated areas and requiring GA passengers to go through the 
same security as commercial flights. Umm.... no. When I'm flying in the left 
seat of a Cessna, *I* make the rules about what is in my aircraft. And I 
enforce them with the large caliber firearm under my left arm.

Those that would trade liberty for security deserve neither.

Hell, my laptop is so old and slow that it it's much more than a glorified 
PDA. I use it to store pics from flash cards and to check email on the road. 
It can't handle more than that. So we're talking Scud type bazooka ;)
