I've heard a few complain about the searches but ya know what? Let their plane get hijacked and, if they survive, they'll be screaming the airline was at fault for not having enough security! If they don't survive then their families will scream lack of security. The older I get the less I understand how some people can get so ignorant in just one life time! Personally, I'd refuse to board a plane where anyone regardless of race or religion, not obviously US Military or Law Enforcement, was allowed to board without having to be searched. They, and undercover law enforcement are the only ones who should be exempt!
