During Spring Break, I took my granddaughters to San Antonio, TX; a 1 hour flight. I arrived worn out from spending all my time & energy focused on all the rules & regulations that complicate air travel today. It seems very strange to me, that we hamper law enforcement from keeping drunks off our highways where they cause hundreds of deaths a day, but air travelers are willing to totally give up all privacy & freedom to fly, even though they don't even knoe the risks of flying. I can't recall one time that the TSA hassel prevented an airplane tradgedy. In fact, every year during government TSA security points inspections, guns & other dangerous weapons are allowed to pass through security. Making it even worse, the TSA rules & proceedures are not consistant; each airport does whatever it wants to do without the assulted passenger having any recourse for impropper behavior of TSA agents. Its way past time we start standing up & demanding the enforcement of our rights as gauranteed by our constitution. There are ways to keep airtravel safe and still maintain our rights, plus not wastefully spend money. I hate flying anymore....anyone else concerned about your rights being violated under false promises of air security? |
