TSA's Pistole:

"We all wish we lived in a world where security procedures at airports weren't necessary but that just isn't the case.""  (Source: http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/112110_right_balance.shtm)

... John-buddy, nobody is saying we don't think airport screening is a bad idea.  However, we ARE saying you're taking it to extremes based on the last known threat, and worry that this approach, when projected forward into the future, only means more controversial screenings based on the next 'last known threat' and places the citizenry at even greater inconvenience and sacrifices their rights and mobility as Americans for the illusion of effective security.   

Nice way to split hairs, though.
