Don't like it? Ship your luggage overnight FedEX or UPS. They do ship globally.

lives of the many > the personal privacy of the one

People will cry, bitch, moan, complain, etc. SO WHAT. Take another mode of transportation. Its a f*cking flight people (short trip!), its not a life changing decision. (like getting married, having kids, buying a house, etc...)
Is this not just about what is done now? Its 2 bags 1 carry on and 1 personal item and they are all subject to 100% check and you must now travel with your bags. The problem is not the checking its the execution of it. Basically the TSA had to fill thousands and thousands of positions in a short period of time. One day you were bagging groceries the next day searching for explosives in a carry on. I am not trying to belittle folks working in the grocery industry I am just trying to make a point about how the folks checking your bags are far from experts.

The process is broken with red tape and fear. If you are going to do it do it right.

One sure way to never have a plan crash into a building, seal up the cabin. The Israeli's do it right, if the passengers are threatened the pilots land the plane.
