Hundreds of readers responded to last week's column about airport
security.
These were letters from Americans who fit no terrorist profile --
airline
pilots, mothers traveling with children, disabled people, elderly and
other
law-abiding Americans -- and yet were frisked, groped and hassled. The
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) behaves as if all
passengers
and all baggage pose an equal security threat, and that's stupid,
because
not nearly all passengers and baggage pose a security threat.

This article seems to indicate that:

a) Airport security HAS been improved, since they are frisking everyone.
(They certainly never did that pre-9/11)

and

b) Political correctness, dictated by umpteen zillion stupid lawsuits over
the years, dictates that the TSA must frisk EVERYONE, even though any
idiot
knows that a 93 year old woman in a wheelchair is probably not a security
risk. It's a sign of the times, not of the TSA.

How does this article support your point?

Like it or not Norm Mineta is the big reason profiling is not allowed. His
parents were sent to the Japanese camps in WWII and it is his way of getting
even.

Frisking everyone has little to no effect on security. There are dozens of
other ways to get what terrorist need on to airplanes.

The lawsuits could be prevented by a simple act of congress. I doubt there
ever were lawsuits but it is an easy scapegoat for the PC ninnies.
