Strange ain't the word for it, Pascal. The result is security by the lowest-bidder where staff has a high turn-over, is poorly trained and possibly have background check problems of their own. The conservatives in Congress have problems with funding a federal cadre for the purposes of airport security. My thought to them: okay let's let airline security people run the check points into the Capital. THEN lets see if such an agency is needed. I think that we'll be getting the well-trained and equiped security force we need. Adam I hear the darkroom calling. Back to work. Seeing how Xtol and T-Max 400 get along.
