Yes.. DGTess did. She said:

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

If we removed all security measures that are a result of an awful crime (or attempted crime), there would be no security at all. I doubt very much that many people would approve of that.

What a lot of people have problems with is TSA sticking their fingers in female children's vaginas, forcing nursing mothers to drink their own breast milk and painfully squeezing men's privates to prove they aren't terrorists. And let's not forget about the body scanner naked pictures that were saved, passed around and laughed at by TSA agents. These are the things that make people get fed up with flying.

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

.. And she added nothing else to it.
Besides, strip searches and drinking your own breastmilk are not part of the rules and regulations. This an abuse of power which should be handled by these employees' superiors. Two totally different issues.
