Have to agree with your observation. Too much government is a bad thing. This is a new organization that is learning and has a very long up hill climb. So far up hill, they may need to go to TIbet and hire some Sherpas. I too hate to fly, and get frustrated when asked to step aside and get to step into the plexiglass zoo container for all to see while you wait your turn for the screener to check you over and swipe your shoes and go through your bag. I hate to fly because of these and other reasons, but work requires it at least 4 times a year, and I have family spread around the country. Driving just isn't an option. I honestly don't blame people for not wanting to enter the U.S. an dhave to deal with the new process. For me personally, I wish the security arrangements were much more strict. The Israelis have it right. Check everyone and everything. Period. No discrimination, no worrying about what the ACLU might think. We now live in a different world like it or not. Accepting change and all that comes with it is not easy nor pleasant. But as they say, change is inevitable.
