ORIGINAL: ElegantDoll I hate airports. I hate the people who work at airports. I hate that children are now being forced to have those damn searches... At least in that one boy HAD to take off his shirt, and a little girl was basically man handled because they just HAD to touch her. It makes me sick. They're children for crying out loud, at least give them a couple pats and let them on their way. You don't have to search every possible area on them in order to tell if they are carrying a sodden weapon/bomb. ....I mean honestly. This is driving me mad! (In all honesty, I hope those children are alright, and sue the bastards that may have harmed them.) I agree with you to a certain extent and because of the dehumanising process at airports now, I am really not that interested in flying anywhere again. Sad, but I believe a lot of others feel the same, including Ryan Air boss Michael O'Leary in his recent television interview on the 1st of November in response to the printer cartridge incidents on commercial aircraft ; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11663705 http://latestnews.virginmedia.com/infocus/2010/11/01/oleary_air_security_ludicrous At one time I rated air travel as the best form of transport, not now, it has fallen to my least favourite means of transport.
