I keep finding more horror stories of people's experiences going through airport security. The "Coffee, Tea, or Should We Feel Your Pregnant Wife's Breasts Before Throwing You in a Cell at the Airport and Then Lying About Why We Put You There?" tale is kinda horrifying. Of course, it's just one side of the story, and it's hard to say exactly what happened in any given case, but, if true, it's pretty terrible.
For a more humorous, but still disturbing, tale, read Penn's (of Penn & Teller) story of airport security in Las Vegas.
Hopefully as time goes on, these things will get better... sigh.
