A little more soapbox time...
Did you _really_ read the title of the article. The writer or editor used the word "feels". This is the part of the PC newspeak that aggravates me to no end. You see it when people are asked if the "feel safer" after the TSA began to pat down 90 year-old grand parents and 12 year-old girls.
The facts are that Americans _ARE_ still, as a whole, woefully unprepared and, IMHO, we _ARE NOT_ much safer flying.
