Didn't that continent sink several thousand years ago?
I'm going to assume that you weren't wearing them at the time.

While it is a bit more of a hassle now, I really don't mind. I guess I'd rather know that every other Tom, Dick, Sally, and potential problem has to pass through the same security checks as I do.
In some ways, it's a little easier now than it used to be at least. Right after 9/11, they used to have the "random" bag and wand searches. I seemed to get picked a lot for them. One flight from Minneapolis to Seattle (connecting through Denver on Frontier) I got the wand at MSP security, then wand & bag search at the gate in MSP. Then when I reached Denver, I got the wand & bag search at the gate AGAIN before boarding. Talk about annoying!
The part that I miss most is being able to take larger shampoo/conditioner bottles for longer trips. When on business, I do anything possible to be completely carry-on with my packing. Tough to fit enough of everything for a week+ trip into a zip-lock. And the alternative is checking a bag that I get to pay extra for each way and the airlines tend to lose as often as they get it there with me.

I agree that this is probably the most inconvenient aspect of the security stuff. 3 ounces of shampoo, a tiny little tube of toothpaste and no shaving gel.... :confused2:
And now I'm afraid to put anything I really need in checked baggage because Delta lost both mine and my wife's bags 8 weeks ago and they have never been found. There was nothing of value to anyone but us, so I don't suspect any chicanery, just stupidity.
