In fact, the airlines are no longer able to employ their own security personnel. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the new government agency handling airport security, and we DO in fact have less freedom when flying than we used to. Even so, I say big deal. They are working to protect planes and passengers from terrorism. They aren't digging through your luggage to try to find out if you cheated on your taxes. --- col sanders wrote: > > Being able to lock your bags on an airplan has nothing to do with > freedom.
