While I understand you feel the need to keep America informed about the shortcomings of our Airport security, I am tired of hearing about the dangers of travel just ahead of the biggest travel week of the year.  It's hard enough to gather faith in our air travel system to fly away for a much-needed vacation, but news stories like this scare me into thinking I should be driving rather than flying.   It's almost like an advertisement for sick-minded individuals to try smuggling these items and seeing what they can get away with.  Why tell them how easy it is - if our federal officials can do it, so can they - I really don't think they need encouragement, do you???
