I've been meaning to write about this for awhile as it is a topic thats been brewing in my head and getting increasingly heated the more frequently I fly and have to deal with airport security. It's amazing how inefficient and by extension, idiotic "security" at airports in the US has become.
On a recent trip a couple in front of me had to empty out nearly all the contents of their carry-on bags: 2 wheeled luggages, a back pack, and a purse. By the time I made it through the x-ray machine, I remarked to the couple--who were still attempting to repack their shit--that we should all just put our stuff inside one big clear plastic garbage bag when flying from here on out.
