When will it stop?

Good morning, Netizens...

As cartoonist David Horsey so clearly shows in this morning's cartoon of the day, we have had to give up a lot of things to the TSA in our search for security.

Unfortunately, very few of the things we have surrendered have given us any more security as recent experiences in Detroit so plainly show. We were told we were secure, safe to fly the skies and then a terrorist hot-wired his underwear. If his wiring had not misfired, the passengers aboard the jet would be so much dust on the tarmac.

Are we secure? My opinion is don't count on it. Complacency is a horrible thing, especially when we are dependent upon a federal agency with such a deplorable record.

What is next? A strip search? Oh, dear. My vanity is endangered.

Dave
