I've been having a similar conversation and positing many of the same ideas to friends for years now. So many of the TSA regulations are just ridiculous and inconvenient. To make matters worse, Americans specifically are often subjected to additional rounds of screening abroad, particularly in Europe. Thank you for writing this.

On your point about not doing anything before landing... I don't think this yo-yo got up and walked around. I believe he tried to light up his Fruit of the Looms while seating down. So even the measure seems useless. I agree about having stronger intelligence. But it now seems that everything our intelligence community does is illegal. We obtained lots of information from detainees in Guantanamo, but now people are crying foul because we "tortured" them. There seems to be no deterrent to these acts. Like you said, if they succeed they go to heaven and are greeted by I-don't-know how many virgins - except this guy. If he would have succeeded in lighting up his briefs, I don't think he would have been too effective with "the ladies" - and if they get caught, they now know they'll be read their rights and tried in civilian courts. Probably they'll be declared incompetent and spend a lot of our money going from court to court. They know their hand and ours. How would you like to be in a tournament where everyone can see your cards, but you can't see anyone's? I agree with you, Annie.
