It is not my desire to argue with you (the collective you). I am really curious why we (the collective we) are okay with anything for security regarding travel but we are not up in arms regarding other issues that are far more common and have far more people dying.

The first point is that I thought we were talking about airport security and the problems associated with it. As for drunk drivers, that is a subject near and dear to me as I have had two family members killed by a drunk driver and their family totally devastated by that event. I believe if you are convicted of a DWI that you should have to take a breathalyzer, yes..and have your license revoked, particularly if there was a death involved and we won't even discuss jail time. But so as not to derail the conversation, I stand by the fact that people cry too much over airport security because they are inconvenienced and don't really think about what the consequences might be if that security were not there. You can bet all those people that hit the world trade center would probably have wanted tighter security had they known what awaited them. I also stated that it did need to be revamped given the amount of people that fly to make the process smoother and more efficient.
