#1 "I love it when our Reps have to deal with the same crap the average Joe/Jane has to."

I love it when our Democrat Reps have to. (And any other species, too, but more Dems seem to think they're "above" us.

#2 Pisses me off that we are wasting time and resources on this security kabuki. I have had the nut-grope 5 times in the past 8 weeks. I;ve held clearances that these people don't even dream exist, and I can think of far better ways of bringing down an aircraft that hiding something in my shorts. Its an utter waste of time all due to political correctness that keeps them from profiling and targeting behaviors and ethnicity and travel patterns --- which are far more reliable indicators. They number of targeted searches must be far higher, and the purely random ones far lower.

#3 It is all done for the "feel good" factor OS. You know how politicians are. They are like a monkey fucking a football when it comes to stuff like this.
Heck of a lot of movement, nothing gets accomplished but the rubes feel safer.

Until you piss the rubes off....
