I am not new to flying at all, having been to four different national capitals, as well as other cities around the world, but this trip made me realize how much more intense security has gotten when traveling. I got pulled aside twice to go through that special scanner thing. Now I figure I don't look like a classic drug mule or terrorist to these security officers, so it just shows how often these random security checks happen. I personally don't have a problem with them, and I am curious to know why others do. I've got nothing to hide from these people, and all it is doing is is making our trip more safe. Some rules have gotten a little ridiculous though, and the TSA has realized that. Things like the nail clipper rule have been let go, which was a smart move. Anyone who can hijack a plane with nail clippers can probably do it just as well without nail clippers.
so you say you do not have a problem with it, but at the beginning you stereo type the security and say that you do not look like the typical drug dealer of=r terrorist!? thats pretty intense to me! what do you think the typical terrorist or drug dealer looks like?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. When i was in New York, we went to the Empire State Building, and the security was pretty easy to get through, albeit time consuming. The line filtered into a few scanners, and i had to try and get through the machine multiple times before i could pass. These checks are for public saftey, and i do agree with them, because when you go into a building like that, you dont want someone to be able to take it down or do damage to it with a bomb. Especially after 9/11.
