   Just did, Monday last, MPX/ATL.  She told me.   ....and the Pilot had given   
   us his name in the pre-takeoff announcements.   
      
   Flying frequently, I've only seen one pax ever removed from a plane, and   
   that was for what was either drunkeness or a comatose state induced by a   
   medicasl condition.   
      
   Come to think of it, as dumb as they can sometimes appear to be, I've never   
   seen the TSA do any more than sort of silly exaggerations to their normal   
   search routine.  Inconvenient?  Sure.  Borderline cretinous or obtuse?  Of   
   course.  Harassment?  Who, when and where....no legends, please.   
      
   None, you're either fetchingly paranoid, or don't travel by air at all.....
