I lost faith in Homeland security when I was able to walk through airport security with an insulin pump undetected.
IE, a small computer containing a vial of liquid that can be time dispersed.
Yea ok.. doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how that could be used for evil intent.
Funny thing though. Every time I go through security, I have vials of medicine, syringes, you name it. Not to mention I carry my laptop typically, as well as an SLR camera, lenses, and as of recent.. also cigars.
Never once had a problem outside of a mishap about 4 years back where the travel agency we went through sold a ticket to a 'do not fly' person and homeland security couldn't figure out which one of the people out of all the tickets sold it was. So they simply refused to board anyone in that group... which consisted of say... 20 or so people heading to Hawaii that day.
Glad to see they've gotten their act together
