| Re: Yeah ... airline \"security\" is A-OK! [ QUOTE ] The point of the story is not that Kennedy should be exempt from security - it's that if he's being held up "because of a name likeness" and he has a direct line to Tom Ridge, DHS and the TSA and still can't get the "problem" fixed how is Joe Average supposed to rectify problems when they occur? Therein lies the problem with our "security" system right now. It's ridiculous and stupid and these "new" programs will just multiply these problems. [/ QUOTE ] While I agree that we have security problems. If Teddy has a numbe similar to someone they need to watch, what is the fix? Remove it so Ted isn't inconveienced? Probably so. Have to keep priorites straight. |

| Re: Yeah ... airline \"security\" is A-OK! [ QUOTE ] You don't get the point, do you, Brian? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img] Ted Kennedy is no terrorist threat, except to a bottle of whiskey or something. Why he's on the CAPPS database, I have no idea. It isn't that Kennedy got treated like everyone else. It's that he was flagged in the first place. [/ QUOTE ] I thought the "roll eyes" smilie made it clear that it was a sarcastic statement. |

| Re: Yeah ... airline \"security\" is A-OK! No one said the answers or solutions would be simple ... and that's part of the problem the government is in midst of a knee-jerk reaction looking ofr the quick fix instead of starting over from square one. |
