No, Ebbie.

I'm saying that they are reactive, conceived in a rush and without sufficient thought and discussion. Airport security is a fine thing, but it hasn't progressed beyond what was done in the 1970s -- due, in my opinion, to a lack of imagination and understanding of today's traveling public. For example, baggage handlers were arrested this week for loading guns and drugs on a plane bound for Puerto Rico; no one seems to know how many guns and drugs have already been shipped by them. On the other hand, since September 11, 2001 there are example after example of passengers assisting crew members in subduing drunks, psychotics, and even the notorious "Shoe Bomber."

I'm not at all sure that ANY government makes laws that are well conceived, well thought out, and proactive.
