My first was in 2006, so I was completely unfamiliar with all the post 9-11 routines at the airport. I tried not to stare at others, but I had no other way to figure out what to do short of looking like an idiot. But, yeah, passengers are presumed dupes until it counts.

What gets me is that it's the <a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091226/D9CR18JO0.html" rel="nofollow">passengers that end up doing something</a> to keep themselves safe. All the rudeness they go through for "government security" and, when it comes right down to it, the passengers do the work to keep themselves secure. Good plan. Blizzard and all, but good plan.

What gets me is that it’s the passengers that end up doing something to keep themselves safe. All the rudeness they go through for “government security” and, when it comes right down to it, the passengers do the work to keep themselves secure.
