Many 'willing to put up with' increased security measures PDF Print E-mail

Calgary Herald (Canada) Valerie Fortney 06/01/2010

CALGARY - The man in the airport lineup was sweating profusely and had a harried look on his face. So it wasn't surprising that the security people pulled him aside and subjected him to a rigorous search of his carry-on bags. After laying out on the table a couple of novels, a box of coconut cookies and a pair of dirty socks for all the world to see, they finished him off with the kind of full body pat-down usually reserved for those caught behind the wheel of a stolen car. He didn't have time to explain that his excessive perspiration was due to a one-kilo-metre sprint to retrieve the laptop his wife had forgotten in the rental car.

My husband Robert took his singling out like a trooper, exchanging niceties with the friendly security folks at Maui's Kahului airport on New Year's Eve.

Seasoned travellers, we're both accustomed to the stepped-up security measures of the post-9/11 world, and the chaos that erupts at airports every time another aspiring terrorist attempts to blow up an airliner. We share a similar philosophy about our privacy versus safety concerns when we're a few thousand feet from terra firma: if it means it'll prevent someone from killing us, we'll do whatever it takes. Heck, I'll happily take a security person chuckling at the sight of my love handles as I pass through a full body scanner over the threat of becoming a terrorist casualty.
