Charles Krauthammer "We pretend that we go through this nonsense as a small price paid to ensure the safety of air travel. Rubbish. This has nothing to do with safety - 95 percent of these inspections, searches, shoe removals and pat-downs are ridiculously unnecessary. The only reason we continue to do this is that people are too cowed to even question the absurd taboo against profiling - when the profile of the airline attacker is narrow, concrete, uniquely definable and universally known. So instead of seeking out terrorists, we seek out tubes of gel in stroller pouches.
"The junk man's revolt marks the point at which a docile public declares that it will tolerate only so much idiocy. "
Remember the villain is not the poor, put-upon inspector at the security gate; it is the oppressive force of political-correctness that suffocates us all.
