And yes I think airport security is way overkill, compared to what they're doing to protect our borders and our shipping ports (which is practically NOTHING). If anyone is going to bring over a dirty bomb or something, it's NOT going to be on an airline.

Horse shit! I waited an extra two weeks for an overseas package right after 9-11. Oh and I call bullshit that it wouldn't have mattered if they had crashed a stadium in Indianapolis with 3,000 people in it. It's too bad they couldn't have hit an Indigo Girls concert in San Francisco...
