Everyone complains when something is missed by security and something horrible happens yet god forbid they have to go through security. It's amazing people still complain about air travel, you can get across the country or world for that matter in hours all while connected to the internet and having a drink with ice in it. People used to make these same journeys in wagons and 1/3 of the people used to die along the way. All in all I'd say a small search at the security check point is a pretty minor inconvenience. I also never understand how something so minor can "ruin" someone's day. If that's your problem for the day, you have it pretty well. As for the airport security, you know the gig and process, its no surprise. If your not willing to abide, please opt out of air travel. Also do yourself a favor and go through the tsa pre check process, you'll be happy you did.

Actually your vehicle is an extension of your residence whereas when you decide to go to the airport your agreeing to any and all searches. If your not okay with that, please don't go to the airport. It's people that believe they should be stripped searching if the tsa decides to do so that throw fits and create lines that the rest of us end up dealing with. Nothing more annoying than being at the airport and arrogant rude passengers feel they have rights to act how they want and look around for people to agree with their tantrum. Those are the people who should be banned from air travel. Just because you pay for a service does not give you the right to think you can skirt the rules you agree to when you purchase said service.

Policy is policy. I want them to follow it under every circumstance. If we allow agents to descretionarily pick and choose how and when to follow procedure it will invevitibly lead to two things; racial profiling claims and some form of security breach. So many people have no idea what is or is not allowed through security, I see it all the time. Also take a look at Johny Knoxville and how he dresses up as an old man. What stops a young terrorist from doing something similar? The easiest and most effective approach is to follow policy to the letter no matter the circumstances.
