UNBURIED ALIVE 2

Just came across this excellent article published today that echoes my thoughts on the previous topic rather propitiously.

'Britain's airports are, in other words, like North Korea, but with shops.'

It's like that here in the States as well. The shoe removal and strip-down queues are a little out of hand. On my most recent flight (Detroit to LA and back), I didn't spot any Homeland 'Security' people with automatic weapons, but there were a number of bomb-sniffing dogs. Frankly, seeing anyone with an MP5 or similar as you're about to board your plane isn't exactly the best way to embark on your journey.

I love planes and airports; I'm just not too keen on the people in them. Or dogs, for that matter.
