Jim, I agree with most of what you say, but from your comments, I have to
ask. Did you read the whole article?

You quote:


When a government agency asks for funeral homes to become partners in
national Transportation Security, all in the name of safety and security,
what possibly can be next???


What does having a way to transfer remains after a flight, have to do with
"what possibly can be next???"

The absurd part is that they have to x-ray remains. To do so demands that
the remains be in anon-metallic container. All they are offering is a way
to get the remains back into a home "showpiece" container.

The remains being put in a plastic or wood container is not unusual. One of
the hats I wear is that of the last person to handle other loved ones's
ashes, and seal them in a memorial wall at the church I am a member of. They
are commited in a plastic container, so they container will not deteriorate
over time, I guess. Some people have real problems about dealings with their
loved one's remains. What is wrong with the TSA wanting to make it a little
easyer?

I still agree with you about most that you say about the TSA, I just don't
understand, this time. Am I missing something?
