Karen, Not a specifc issue with you (pre 9/11 security failures), but with the Democrats. As to your article - scary. Thats a situation that needs addressing. My favorite personal view on this comes from a recent flight to Paris. A nice elederly couple (late 70's early 80's) was waiting to board. The wife was selected for security - and when the husband stood by - he was rudely told to get out of the area and made to board, no discussion. When they finished with her physical search, they asked to look through her carry on. Unfortunately he had the key and they had to go aboard and bring him back. Delayed the flight by an hour (back and forth with a walker was slow). But then again the 'random' security checks are there to pass muster with the ACLU :-( You can not legally target young men of ME descent in this country. John
