Pro: catch plane hijackers. One hijacker of 9/11 was held back, and the plane he was supposed to be on failed to crash into the capital building.

I've always seen it as a decision between Security and Convenience. Would you like to have everyone and their luggage thoroughly checked before boarding? Or would you like to quickly get on the plane and get to your destination?

Pro: nothing apparently. No matter how much they step it up, somebody always manages to slip a bomb by and cause even more inconvenience for us normal people. Con: waste of time, invasion of privacy, stringent rules on simple household objects, racial profiling, etc etc etc

[quote] MicrosoftSam : If it isn't a bother, can you elaborate on racial profiling a bit? Thanks you guys [/quote] I'm gonna explain it the George Lopez way, "If I was a cop, would I pull over a pretty blonde chick, or one of them mexicans in those bouncy cars?"
