Airport Security At It's Best

Yeah, I know....this was Mexico, so who knows what their rules are but you'd think they'd follow our rules...

There are so many variances that I don't think should be there...different airports follow different rules. Some places make you take your ziploc bag of liquids out of your carry-ons, some don't. Makes me question how safe (or not) the TSA is making flying these days.

Honestly... if you REALLY look at the security measures that have been implemented, the TSA is nothing but a sham to restore the confidence of the American people in flying post-9/11. And in that sense, they do their job well, because most folks will fly now. BUT don't ever confuse them with a provider of "security"... there are plenty of ways to get around airport security, you're only marginally safer than you were 10 years ago. But do I still fly? sure. Statistically speaking, I'm more likely to have a safety issue in a car than a plane. even if the occasional plane were to get blown up, I'd still fly... because statistics would still be on my side
