The government has no business providing security for airlines. Government involvement in any field generally results in higher costs and lower quality.

And, force is usually involved.

My balls got squeezed a year ago. I'm not flying again, not until this injustice is resolved. I have no fear of flying -- just, a desire to keep myself from being irradiated unnecessarily, and a desire to steer clear of pain.

In another incident, on returning home from overseas the TSA agent walked around telling stupid jokes while we were standing in line, jokes about our appearances. Very uncalled-for and unwanted, but who wants to stand up to the guy with the gun?

The airlines must be losing untold amounts of business. I used to travel a lot. I wonder how many more of me there are out there?
