Security at airports has tightened but people are still boarding flights with weapons. It the story in the Bangor, Maine newspaper is accurate, the lady was evidently randomly selected and objected to having the device that detects metalic objects passing over her body. If she resisted, as the story indicates, she obviously was detained! She should have been! I doubt very seriously if the people doing such checks, and particularly at airports as small as Bangor's has any idea of anybody's political persuasion that is boarding a plane. Use your heads, folks, and try not to see a Republican boogie man hiding behind ever suitcase at the airport.

To me, it looks like the Green Party saw an excellent opportunity to publicize a non-event, and evidently the mainstream media saw through it.

I, like you Kendall, would have absoulutely no objection to being singled out for a more thorough search, and I'm glad they are doing it.
