‘Airport Indignities Are Beneath My Dignity’

Writes Susan Tyner:

I have been wondering when the citizens of this country would, at last, get fed up and proclaim the procedures foisted upon the flying public as being beneath their dignity to cooperate with.  I last boarded a commercial aircraft in 1997, with knitting needles, scissors, and large bottles of shampoo in my carry-on luggage.  I cannot, under any circumstances, imagine a situation which would compel me to submit to such physical encroachments as have become commonplace in our nation’s airports. I either travel in my own vehicle or not at all.

Please keep attention on this matter.  In my opinion, our government schools have generated a populace that will endure any sort of indignity for the sake of conformity and convenience. People should be ashamed of what they allow the government to do to them in exchange for geographical mobility.
