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.

You quit flying because you have to take off your shoes and can only buy a bottle of water after going through security?
You didn't go to a baseball game because when walking in, someone might ask you to open your purse so they could take a glance inside?
It amuses you that rules/processes/procedures are changed because people die? Using this logic, most laws involving cars could be thrown out the window... Not wearing a seatbelt? Just be careful! Driving 30mph over the speed limit? Have fun! You're driving drunk? Carry on!
And you find this to be punishment? Yea, you're right... If 9/11 taught us anything, it's that terrorists should be allowed on planes armed to the teeth. Let's forget the metal detectors altogether!
Hell, why even give the TSA agent my ID? God forbid I'd have to open my wallet and pull it aaaaall the way out for them to look at for 10 seconds.
