Because there are evil people in this world who have killed innocent people, and have inconvenienced the rest of us.

But I'd rather deal with a 15 minute inconvenience than end up dead. But maybe that's just me.

And what's the trade-off here? Wait 15 minutes to get into the theater.. Or wait 15 miniutes sitting in my seat. There's no real difference if you ask me.

Exaaaaactly.
I've quit flying.

I recently canceled plans to go to a Nationals baseball game when I learned I'd be searched like a common criminal.

I'm perfectly happy staying away from places where I'm presumed guilty. But maybe that's just me.

It just amuses me that after an atrocious crime, the rules and regulations change to punish those who didn't do it.
