Brian, if you want to get your dose of x-rays and or felt up 2-3 times a year...good for you. I think most people do not want to be exposed to unnecessary x-rays or physicals unless they're performed by a physician or medial practice for health reasons. I fly often for my job, not as much as you do but often enough. I will give you credit about certain travelers, there are those that do not travel often and will def. slow shit down at the check points. Terrorism - The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce. The state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization. Terrorists create terror and that in turn will cause people to take actions which would not normally be needed. The media and government has created a fearful nation because of the actions of terrorists many years ago now. I honestly think that the government should get the hell out of our airports and let the private sector handle the security there. It would probably be a lot cheaper on the tax payers and create some jobs that people really need.
