I hear you. I do. That's what I was meaning by training & process improvement needs. I agree, the rules shouldn't be secret. And I don't think they intentionally are. We're just in full out crisis mode here. We're at war. People seem to forget that. I think folks need to just be a lot more patient and try to work with the system rather than against it. Any other country probably would've just declared martial law by now and really locked things down. We're still way way too "free" in our ability to move about and get into sensitive areas. I mean, what's it going to take? The dirty bomb? A bio attack? A nuked port. You know what they say, one nuke can ruin your whole day.

I'm traveling by air tomorrow. I'm making very certain that I'm wearing loafers, my bags are unlocked, my gifts are unwrapped, I'm not carrying anything metalic, I have no carry on luggage. These aren't difficult rules to follow. I will glide thru security, I will flap my arms when told, I will change the display on my Treo. I will have my papers ready. Who in their right mind would cause a fuss at a security station in war time?
