TSA: Please take your computer out of your bag ... by gimleteye

If you fly, you will instantly recognize one of the most irritating features of the TSA screening at airports: please remove your computer from your bag and place it in a separate tray. The New York Times sent a reporter out to investigate if any purpose is served removing laptops and computers from carry-on bags. The Times discovers: it doesn't. It is "security theater", meant to make travelers feel safer. Well, bul@#$@ to that. If it serves no purpose, stop making us, trained monkeys.

I carry a run of the mill backpack and have never taken out my LapTop!!
Never once have been stopped by the Morons in Blue.

Other advice: Never fly out of Miami!
Or if you do, plan an extra hour to get through "security."
It's like going through a war zone! I always try to get flights from Fort L, even when they are more expensive.
