maleficent

While I usually complain louder than anyone at the ineffectiveness of airline security, I know what I have unintentionally "smuggled" onto planes, against what I have gotten confiscated (confiscated -- plastic knife, taken on board -- 6 inch chef's knife - on the same flight the same day same guard -- saw one didn't see the other - I had honestly forgotten it was there until I got home and unpacked my suitcase)

I have no objection at them taking extra precautions, and taking extra care, I do not see at all how it's an infringement of my rights to be patted down, I make the choice to fly, I make the choice to go thru airline security, it's up to me to abide by their rules. Are they just supposed to give me a pass because I "look" honest.
