I fly monthly out of Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee. I have never been able to get so much as a finger nail clipper through. I have lost numerous pocket knifes because I forgot they were in my pocket.

One more thing to Peter. There are 3,000 people dead at the hands of an organization that has sworn to do it again. They have sworn to destroy our country. Our government has uncovered numbers of cells and plans. Of course you would have us drop our guard. But had you or someone you loved been in the WTC that day, I wonder what your attitude would be.

I believe that GWB has far overreached in his Homeland Security Act. But to deny that we have to be exceedingly vigilant at this point in our history is to beg for more innocents to be killed.
