This is true, but we aren't paying police or Border Patrol to be douchebags to everyone that doesn't bow before their almighty authority and give them praise. It's a waste of time and money and that it happens as often as it does (and shit like this happens often apparently) just further goes to show that what we have in airports and on our borders is far more security theater than actual security. It's not made to stop terrorists, nor can it consistantly do so, but instead made to give the appearence that we're stopping terrorists.
