Back in the mid to late 70s, I lived in a town on Long Island, in Suffolk County, that was under 1 of the approaches to JFK. From time to time I would look up and see 1 of these beautiful, majestic aircraft, still at several thousand feet, inbound. It was a sight that I will never forget.
WALLACE24 is correct. We have become more scared and mistrusting of each other than ever before. Though we certainly always need to be on guard for terrorism, security has never been handled intelligently. It is loaded with knee-jerk reactions. The TSA is prime example. This gentleman has been proving it in his blog for years.
