I shudder to think now that we placed my stepdaughter on a bus just days before this occurred, and I was disturbed even then by the complete lack of basic security measures like metal detectors. Is it really a right to be able to bring hunting knives, firearms, or controlled substances on a bus? Are a few restrictions on carry-on items going to affect our day-to-day lives? The flight restrictions haven't really affected me much; having to buy liquids and gels when I reach my travel destination is only a very minor inconvenience (besides, I've been able to get hand sanitizer gel onto several commercial flights...)<BR/><BR/>As for the psychic trauma that can be caused by such events, I agree with you that it is made far, far worse by the kind of media over-coverage we've seen in this case. If the media spent half the time on positive, life-affirming events that it does on (relatively rare) gruesome crimes, we'd be in better shape as a society. IMO.S.M.
