Unbearable? We all know TSA and PreCheck was the result of 9/11. Remember the public outrage of the terrorists being allowed to sneak in knives to hijack the planes? Little less known is how common hijacking was in the 1960s. Back then one could go straight to the gate from the airport lounge. No security check. http://listverse.com/2012/10/27/top-10-us-airline-hijackings-of-the-sixties/ http://listverse.com/2012/10/27/top-10-us-airline-hijackings... Some guy was even able to carry a machine gun onboard! This was in the US alone. Most of security procedures today were the result of those events. When was the last time you heard of an hijack in the US? So yes, airport security is real PITA, and ideally I'd love not to subject to it. But to say it was implemented on a whim is a gross neglect of history events.
