So I've arrived back in Provo and I had some observations about the uselessness of airport security, and the annoying-ness caused by it.

1: Don't get mad at me for not taking my Wii out like a laptop, none of the signs, pictures, videos, or auditory messages tell you this might be necessary.

2: Security procedures attempting to prevent people from bringing dangerous objects onto the plane are completely negated when workers leave items such as crowbars, box cutters, grout scrapers, and other pointy or heavy things unattended and unwatched in the "secure" area of the terminal.

3: I bet there are chemicals on the bathroom cleaning cart that could cause some damage if sprayed in the face. The guy pushing around the bathroom cleaning cart didn't look like he was batting more than about .050.

4: The TSA no longer notifies you with a little paper when they go through your suitcase. I know this because my carefully-arranged-to-prevent-damage-to-items suitcase was rearranged in a suboptimal way when I opened it a few minutes ago.

Driving would almost be worth it to not have to deal with stupid and largely ineffective security measures.
