Why flying is no longer fun

I used to enjoy taking trips by plane. Then came 9/11 and airport security in the age of "new normal" increasingly made flying a daunting proposition. We use a wheelchair for my wife when traveling and the screeners invariably ask her to exit the wheel chair and walk through the metal detector. I thought we were the only ones that endured this absurdity - until I read this article about TSA overkill.

Do you have a story of TSA absurdity? I'd love to hear it.

 

What did you think of this article?

    Alan,
    I referenced the same report from Mr. Rubin on my blog a couple of days back. We have an autistic son and have constantly had to deal with the ignorance of airport screeners long before September 11th! I feel your pain1 You can read my article titled "TSA - Tyrannical Socialist Agitators at www.generalpatriot.com! I enjoy your post and your dad sends me some good emails!
