41.  I am questioning
exactly what IS sufficient information to put someone on a no-fly list. It simply seems that a crapload of American citizens find themselves on that list for no apparent reason, and as a domino effect, the TSA and Homeland Security put a lot of people through a lot of *processing* hell that makes their traveling a nightmare and yet this very questionable bozo easily gets through with a pass.

Amsterdam has been quoted in the news as a very highly efficient city regarding air security.

And right away, our security forces go off the map about not allowing people to use bathrooms and not being able to move out of your seat, or put anything in your lap. It often makes the whole system look like amateurish bullies who truly don't have sufficient organization or common sense necessary to carry out this very serious job.

The ring wing chatter sites aren't the reason this whole process looks inefficient.
The process looks inefficient because in many cases it IS.

I am also sure that hundreds of potential threats have been thwarted, and for that I am very grateful.
But many of these new regulations being considered are misdirected and ridiculous.
