I'm looking forward to the next flight we take....

when, in the last hour before landing, the flight attendant tell my three-year old he cannot go pee (and they can do it, not me). It will be a very interesting time.

1. Wouldn't it be better to keep known terrorists off of the plane?

3. Yes and I hate to say it but profiling of certain groups of people

is okay in my book as far as terrorism is concerned.

2. Three-year-olds? Hell, wait till they try telling us 63-year-olds!

And then there will be cleaning the seats between flights! ;-)

4. Just flew yesterday

No problem. Security same as usual. No announcement to stay in seat or not to use bathroom.

[sui generis]

5. it was utter hell yesterday on Toronto leg back from Germany

Got screened at customs, coming INTO the terminal, and exiting the flight lounge. Rescheduled flights required "exiting" the gate area (I mean the ACTUAL gate) which also got you rescreened just to go two gates over. It took every single person who went through an average of 5 minutes to pass the screener, lines backed up out of sight, with multiple pat downs, laying out every single item in your carry on, explaining what every wire, battery, and adapter was for, and trying not to bite somebody.

Even the plane supply and staff were delayed well enough that they finally just started cancelling U.S. flights right and left and clearing the terminal. It was truly an overreaction - and I suspect, a union slow down on the part of Air Canada.

And about that sixty minute time frame - why sixty? Now that everybody knows, any body who made it through with a multi-part bomb strapped to their taint and a bottle of lip gloss is probably going to disrobe and start assembling everything at minute 62.

Are we really this stupid? Good god, the TSA is just useless. The "terror" part of the terrorism went off without a hitch: travel and economic disruption.

Wannabe Terrorists 1, TSA 0.

6. Do they announced a kind of "last call?"

Like bars do?

I'd hate to get stuck in my seat for 60 minutes having a full bladder because I lost track of the time...

7. not letting people use the bathroom is inhumane.

figure out a better way to find terrorists or ground all the fucking planes. enough.
