it. The airport owners (which in most cases are government but SHOULD be
private) should be responsible for security in airports and ought to be held
strictly accountable if and when they blow it.

Was there a point you were trying to make?


So why is it OK for "the feds" to invade your privacy at the airport but
nowhere else?
