Slave of Fear
 
As someone who just flew and got picked for special security, (I bought the tickets late) I have to tell you the people doing the searches were very pleasant and professional. Neither my wife or I minded the pat down. I did however find the lines intolerable. I also feel the process is pretty much wasted. On the flight back hardly anything was looked at. I didn't have to show them my belt buckle or remove my hat. I see the need for some security, but I doubt it is effective and I know you are going to have people abuse the power they are given. I think the passengers need more right to protect them from officials that are overly zealous or are out for a kinky thrill.
