I think most would agree with the need for security; what makes us see red is the "fighting the last war" mentality that seems to pervade much of the homeland security initiative.

One guy got on a plane with a bomb in his shoe... so for the next nine months airline travel is messed up while we all take our shoes off. C'mon, does anyone really believe that all we're going to get in the future is shoe bombs, not a similar bomb taped to some other part of the body ?
