I hope the tremendous backlash against this latest safety feature will result in a change. I am odd...I really don't mind government intrusion, I kind of feel, "well, nothing I am doing is worth their attention" and move on. I would probably let a police officer into my home to search, without a warrent, no less, as I have nothing to hide. If they told me they had a reason, and I bought it, I would let them in.

But, this? For some reason, I just can't see it. It is clear it isn't a deterrant, but something done to promote peace and tranquility in the airline industry. Don't people think any more?
