    Has Airport Security Gone Too Far? In the wake of 9/11, the once "simple things in life" required not much thought at all now they have been transformed into complicated procedures only brought about in a time of war. Traveling by air has been a very rewarding experience for most but courtesy of terrorism, it has mutated into a list of banned items, random luggage searches, and armed soldiers ominously toting M-16 rifles.

Well t...
