A Curiosity

Hmmm. Pliny's been out of pocket traveling on business. An interesting observation. I flew into Reagan International Airport in DC recently. Planes on approach to Reagan have to weave and dodge along the Potomac to avoid restricted airspace. It's a wild ride and not my favorite. But it is conveniently located at the seat of power. Curiously, the airport positioned seconds from the Pentagon, the White House, and the US Capitol Building, across the river from the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, has no invasive body X-ray scanners. They have a lot of other security procedures but no X-rays. Now if you fly out of Ft Wayne Indiana's little regional airport they just about do a body cavity search but not in our Nation's Capitol. Congressmen, lobbyist's, businessmen of all types fly out of that airport daily for business and politics. What does that say?
