If this is what we have to look forward to under a
Kerry/Edwards presidency, I fear the worst is yet to come.
As we climbed out I laughingly told my kids that this was "your
tax-dollars
at work." I then closed my eyes and wished fervently that 9/11 had never
happened...
Jesus, I wish 9/11 had never happened either. In addition to the lives that
were lost, we've had to spend billions of dollar since to boost security,
we've made every line at an airport 4 times as long as they were before,
we've given all sorts of security personel including secret service, INS,
FBI etc. free license to be jerks (for the minority among them that want to
be jerks), and the worst part is you know that 99% of this effort is wasted;
it is to prevent the 1% of cases where a real risk is involved.
As for attributing this kind of behavior to a Kerry/Edwards presidency, I
sincerely doubt it has anything to do with them (as I am sure you know).
This is the domain of the secret service who don't change when a new
president gets elected. FWIW, AOPA tells us that Kerry has been quite a bit
more accomodating to GA by not utilizing TFR every place the campaign jet is
scheduled to land.
