Maybe I just fly too much, but honestly (except for the courtesy surrounding the new policy) I don't find it any more intrusive than any of the other BS I have had to endure since 9/11.

I don't know, but it seems that any rights we had surrounding flying went out the window shortly after 9/11.

If you (aimed more at FOX than DU) have been paying attention, the TSA has been doing these short of shakedowns for quite awhile (meaning the Bush administration). For us this included separating a sleepy and airsick 5 yr. old on a long international flight and frisking her away from her parents.

I should probably duck now, but I support Obama on this one.
