I'll bet you a grilled cheese that you are wrong.

I have business friends who drive all the way from toronto down to WV, IL, KY because, with the security it's easier to drive than it is to fly.

How many parents will avoid recreational travel because their kids may get molested or pornoscanned? I think it is a bigger number than you think. This is going to affect the bottomline of the airlines.

The pilot and flight attendant unions my stop objecting once the rules change for them, but it is setting a precedent.

And if you make exceptions for old people, or children or muslims or amish, then that is exactly who would be recruited (or dressed as) to deliver a bomb. Or...the next bomb will be in some swarthy man's rectum.

I predict that in a year, this country will be using Israeli methods of behavioral profiling...augmented with dogs.
