Newsflash: Airport security is annoying

This girl has a prosthetic leg, which causes her much embarrassment when going through airport security screening.

Well, yeah, I'm sure it's unpleasant for her to have the extra attention from having a leg like Robocop. I don't blame her for getting cranky about it. The problem is she is turning her fire towards the wrong targets.

The first is the terrorists who hijack planes. Before they started doing it in the late 1960's, there basically was no airport security. Guys going on hunting trips would store their rifles in the overhead compartments (no joke). Heck, I remember back in 1996 taking a wooden baseball bat on a plane with me. So first and foremost, blame the Muslim a-holes who want to take down planes.

The second is our ridiculous policy of treating everyone the same in screening. It's obvious that young Muslim men are by far most likely to hijack or destroy a plane, yet they get the same attention as an old black lady. Sure, it would then really be bad for Muslims who fly who mean no harm, but it would be a lot better for everyone else.
