#1, The average person does not want to sacrifice themself. You have 1 guy with a gun holding 20 people hostage. Can they take him? Sure, he has 7 bullets, there are 20 of them, even if he had 1 kill per bullet, they could still take him. WHo in the group wants to be the first to die? None of them.. So they sit.
And i must agree, 4 hours in line blows, but it sucks just a little less than being used as an anti-skyscraper missle.
My dad is a managerfor the screeners at a local airport. trust me, they only exercise a small portion of the authority they have. Did you know that they are federal agents, and as such, if you got irrate with them and started harrasing them, you are technically committing a felony?
the flip side of this whiole thing is that while they will make you leave your metal nail file and pocket knife before boarding, it is up to their discression as to wether or not to say anything to you if youhave drugs. you could have a pound of cocaine, and they arent required to say a thing.
