I was going to ask when the lunacy will end, but it won't, so no point in asking the question. Let's just hope it doesn't spread to nation-wide.

It just occurred to me what the TSA is doing, and why they will succeed. They will make efficient travel so inconvenient that no one will use it, thus travel will be safe! Except for the airlines dying, the interstates getting clogged with more accidents resulting, etc.
