Airport Security

New strict security rules were put into place on Dec 26th as a result of an attempted airplane bombing. The public were greatly inconvenienced, mainly because the security people dropped the ball and then had to give the appearance of doing something about it, other than just doing their jobs, which was already greatly inconveniencing the general flying public. On Wednesday morning, something changes. The question is what? Passengers will at that time be once again allowed to bring carry on luggage into the plane. But why on Wednesday? Was it not safe to do so on Tuesday?
Nothing changes except for the creative ways in which we, the public, are being convinced that somebody is doing something about our safety. Thousands are killed every year by drunk drivers and yet there is not nearly the effort to curb this kind of behaviour as there is effort to curb the destruction of an airplane that would result in the loss of a few hundred lives. I suppose one life lost at a time does not have the impact of 200 lost at one time.
