Favorite month and season continued …

By Larry Shapiro

Larry ShapiroI think that last month I forgot to mention that I was sentenced to a week in Texas and got off with some silly behavior. (Formerly known as “Good Time”)

The trip reminded me of why being able to fly myself is so important.  I can’t begin to tell you how much I hate to wait in lines and go through some of the most embarrassing security checks in the world. I mean, come on folks, are my shoes, bluetooth and belt presenting any apparent danger? This isn’t real security, it’s a job stimulus program.  I guess I’m spoiled after living in Israel and seeing what real security is about.

How can we expect some of the lowest paid people at your airports to do one of the highest priority jobs when they don’t even have the support of most of the people whose time they are wasting.  At best, all I see are people missing their flights, and I have the hardest time believing that they are saving any lives.  Please feel free to disagree with me but if you do, don’t tell the person sitting next to you, tell me.

I have traveled through some of this world’s biggest and best airports where security lives up to its name and is worth the time it costs you.
