You might consider investing in some velcro ustwo because...wait a second you wouldn't voluntarily submit to a search before you get on a plane? If that's the case then no, you shouldn't be allowed to fly. This seems the source of the complaints here: white people feeling that they're unfairly being inconvenienced by anti-terrorism efforts.

I think you missed the part when ustwo said "in an organized terrorist effort" none of these events are even closely related, execpt the part with the beslan terrorists, that seems to be ustwo's point...something about islamic terrorists.

Anyway, I don't have a big problem being searched getting on an aircraft, but it makes more sense, since time is not unlimited when you are trying to catch a plane and the resources needed to search individuals is scarce, that they spend most of the time and money on searching those that pose the greatest threat. It just seems to make sense to me.
