ABCNews is reporting that a drug smuggling operation was recently broken up at JFK airport.  That's a big slap in the face for airport security.  Makes you wonder what else can get into and out of this country given enough time and patience to get your people in the right positions.  Sleeper Cell anyone?    I think it's a joke how airport security varies so much depending on the airport you're at.  In one airport, I had to take the laptop out of the case *and* take the DVD's out of the laptop bag.  I guess they wanted to make sure that it really was Shrek and not something else?  But... another airport wasn't at all concerned about the movies in the bag.  They just wanted the laptop out.  At least they stopped making you turn *on* the laptop and turn *on* the cell phone.  I guess having it on proves it's not a different device that just *looks* like a cell phone?  What a hassle.  At least they stopped frisking grandma and making women drink their own breast milk.  That's a heads up for all you people thinking about making that baby bottle device or hiding something on/in grandma. 

All kidding aside, I think airport screening is pretty good on the front end,  IE making sure your gels and creams under 3 oz in your carry on go into a clear quart sized bag.  Now they just need to beef up the back end screen their own employees just as carefully.  All you airport workers start getting to work 30 to 45 minutes early so you can go through that line.  And please, take off your shoes and take your laptop out of its bag.
