The Intelligence Reform Act = obviously not all that much intelligence involved, IMO.

And just HOW would a few matches or a lighter in checked luggage be a danger?

"... the TSA is concerned about prohibiting items that it cannot detect".

If they SAW a fireboard and spindle in your luggage, would they even know what it was?

"There is a concern that we just simply do not create rules that inconvenience the public but do not enhance our security capability." I wonder just how many illegal aliens from the middle east they've caught since Homeland Security was created?

I do wonder how much HS has done to REALLY prevent further terrorism?

So much of this BS is just eyewash, I think, much like companies that come up with all these "morale-boosting" ideas that wouldn't be needed if the people in charge had a working brain. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
