Airline insanity...

...we're all nuts.

If EVERYBODY on the plane had a knife we would have NOTHING, 0, ZIP, Nada, to worry about.

I'm all for keeping bombs and terrorists off of planes but...COME ON.

Manadatory: You MUST have a nail file or clippers or a compass or a pocket knife or you can't get on the plane!!!!!

Who supports this great idea?

For a while they were prohibiting "Transformer" toys.

What the heck kinda threat is a Transformer?

I think that the whole idea of airline security is a big waste of $$$$$. There are about 1,000 things already on an airliner that someone can make a weapon out of, ranging from portable fire extinguishers to just breaking off a long, sharp, piece of plastic from the trim, and these weapons will be just as harmful or deadly as any non-firearm/explosive that you could sneak on the plane.

There are three ways to make airline travel safe:

1. Identify and kill potential hijackers (and I think we're on our way to doing that.)
2. Arm pilots (we're doing that.)
3. Ensure that passengers know that it's perfectly legal for them to take whatever action is necessary to subdue a hijacker.
