Airport Security

Every now and then there is a video on the internet or TV news about a little kid being patted down at the airport.  People post how stupid it is to think a pre-schooler will carry a bomb, ABC news interviews the outraged parents and NBC tells how many days since Michael Jackson died that this happened.  Well I think it is a good idea.

I am not looking to have a family member, a friend, or myself blown-up because some idiot strapped a bomb to their child and committed suicide while killing over 100 innocent passengers, That is the real problem.  When I was stationed overseas I learned of a woman who hid a grenade under her little baby because she knew soldiers would drop their guard when they saw the little one.

In New York a woman drove her van into the Hudson River killing herself and three of her four children.  They trusted her and stayed in their seats.  What would be so hard about putting an explosive in a diaper like the Christmas Bomber did when he hid one in his underwear?

Sure, TSA is a pain in the butt when they hold us up for searches before we take a flight but remember, we arrive at our destination.  Give them a break, they are doing their job protecting us.
