"Every time a real or would-be terrorist boards a plane, fooling the vigilance of our brave security guards and their wonderful machines, millions of passengers get a more miserable life for years to come. The 9/11 terrorists have been successful beyond imagination: they managed to alter our lives – for the worse – forever! We, in the East, wanted to get rid of our ‘Big Brother’ and we got in exchange the ‘Western’ variant, more sophisticated but no less scary. Many ‘security guards’ at some airports misbehave; they consider themselves above the law, looking at every passenger as a suspect, taking the liberty to inspect every bit of luggage without any explanation and, of course, excuse, when their ‘suspicion’ proved unfounded. And when you dare to protest, they laugh in your face. You would agree this is an abuse. It is high time, then, that the Commission looked into the activity of these firms and imposed some standards of behaviour towards the large mass of honest citizens. After all, we have a Charter of Fundamental Rights to be respected equally by every European, including those in charge of security in our airports."@en1
