08/15/2008 | To be honest, it wasn't like air travel was exactly streamlined before 9/11.
Although I do find it amusing to have to carry my shoes in my hand through security at McCarran airport in Vegas.

08/15/2008 | I think it would be worth the extra hassle and security at airports in exchange for the nearly three thousand lives lost...

09/12/2006 | Instead of making cans of shaving gel and baby formula the enemy, how bout going after the real enemies. Forget the politically correct nonsense! If we have to profile, we profile.

05/03/2005 |  I find this one troubling only because it's stupid, for several reasons. First is the stuff you are no longer able to take on a plane. Can anyone here tell me you are honestly afraid of a pair of nail clippers? Even if, god forbid, there's a nail file on them?? I've seen screeners, and I'm not kidding, hold up a line for twenty minutes, if not longer, because of a pair of nail clippers. Second, they've shown, intentionaly and otherwise, that you aren't any safer now than you were. The govenment screeners miss at least as much as the private screeners did, and guns and whatnot still make it on planes. Third, when travel delays are caused by luggage belonging to someone that is on a no fly list that no ones will claim actually exists, how annoying is that???? If security were a concern, EVERYONE would take off their shoes, and EVERYONE would be subject to secondary screening. As long as they leave these things up to the people doing them, we are all subject to people having lazy days, or just not caring. And as long as that's true, none of us are safer.

04/22/2003 | I wouldn't mind it so much if it were actually effective and worked a little bit faster. Of course, with a reformed airport security system, as Castlebee said, and with the safety of American travelers at heart, I really don't see how this is a "troubling consequence." And besides, flight delays were rampant long before 9/11.

04/07/2003 | Maybe it had to do with the time of day I went (in the morning), but there was no delay at the airport for me. Probably because the airport was virtually empty. I don't mind the extra security measures.

04/04/2003 | Nope. I'd rather take a few extra minutes for extra security then to have the plane crash in the White House. Travel is always delayed, anyway, for some reason or another.

03/10/2003 | What do you mean, "troubling consequences?" I've been flying for years, and these "delays" started long before the war did.

12/09/2001 | This is new? Every flight I've ever been on has always been late, terrorists or no terrorists. A security check would just be a way to pass the time. I don't see it as a consequence of anything. Take care, everyone!

12/08/2001 | Delays prior to air travel does not bother me at all when considering the safety of the passengers. The citizens of this country need to feel as comfortable as possible that not another hijacking will occur. As long as the federal government sets up proper guidelines to train and hire security personnel, then there will not be another incident. The security of all Americans has no price; the key constitutional function of the United States government is to provide for the security of the country and it should go to all ends to meet that goal.

12/07/2001 | Hopefully the more they organize and standardize this process - oh yes and bother to properly train the people they hire to do it - the faster, more efficient and streamlined it will become. For the time being, I can put up with it in the name of safer travel. Not really a very large price to pay.

12/06/2001 | This isn't troubling at all. The way I feel, if you value your safety at all, you won't mind the extra wait, no matter how excessive it might be. Plus, this isn't nearly as troubling as some other consequences of the attacks.

12/05/2001 | I don't think people should be upset about delays if it's for their own safety.

12/05/2001 | Slightly annoying, but who can get mad about a thorough security check before getting on an airplane? It's a new world now in terms of the risks of air travel, and while I hate being inconvenienced, it only makes sense that airport security be tightened.
