But just becuase they can do it doesent mean we should make it easier for any old tit with a gun or a bomb to do it aswell.

Your unwillingness to get your ass probed before you get on an airplane

We all trade lives for convenience.

I'd like to choose to use an airline that doesn't have ridiculous rules put on it because the masses are really,

Terrorists change flying from ultra super mega hyper safe to just sorta super mega duper safe.
If you are scared of terrorists, you should be rendered catatonic at the thought of climbing into a car, bicycle, or god forbid, a
motorcycle.
Nobody is saying there shouldn't be reasonable precautions. The metal detectors we had in the 90s were fine. Zip through, maybe get a wand. Done.
