Airport security lines and procedures seem to be getting worse, not better. Even with longer lines and more hassle, real security may be only incrementally better, not substantially better. And this security may be more a result of scaring people away for air travel rather than the actual improvement of real security. Do 80 year-olds require the same level of screening as males in their 20s and 30, probably not? Does a struggling mother with three young children somehow pose the same threat as pregnant looking woman from the Middle East, doubtfully so? What about U.S. military or former U.S. military holding top secret clearances?
