Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, and I'm sure there are others have all at one point or another spoken out about the US. Don't get me wrong I'm not pro screwing people's rights. But there is a constant threat and it is real. It's not JUST Arabs. There are many people I give a good look at. Ones that don't fit the traveling profile I've made for myself.

The Tub Stackers of America make me nervous... something just ain't right when you trust your airline security to some pimply-faced high school dropout.
It just burns me when these retards grab my ID without asking, as I'm going through the metal detector, "for a closer look". I swear, someday they're going to have a closer look at my fist instead!
Then again, the world needs it's Barney Fifes I guess.

Someone on here mentioned van drivers which reminded me of one driver in particular in Charleston, WV..... Anyone who's flown there for SkyWest or Air Wisconsin knows who I'm talking about.... The man absolutely refuses to use the brakes from the terminal (located on top of a plateau) all the way to the hotel.... It's the only time I've found it necessary to seat in the back of the van with seat belt and shoulder harness on. On a side note, he also likes to yell at people in the morning who are either late or grabbing a last minute donut. If your living is based on tips, not a good move.

The reason the FAA allows infants to be held on laps is because they have concluded that if they charged for a seat for the infant, a high % of people would drive instead of fly which ultimately is less safe and in the totality of things would create more deaths and injuries due to the much much higher incidence of death/injury per mile in the automobile versus a commercial airliner.
People forget that 40,000 people a year die in cars and 200,000 are permantly injuried in some way. If the airlines had a record like that, they'd all be shutdown.
