Heck no. Suck it up and get over it. Shampoo, mouth wash, etc. Can all be replaced. Who cares about possessions or wasted money when we are talking life and death ??

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I do feel that people have the right to complain if they want. However, in light of today's events, I can't see why on earth anyone would complain. I would rather wait in a line for hours and get on a plane knowing it is as safe as can be than wait 5 minutes and someone get on who should not be there,IMO.

I was complaining today - not because of the regulations or being put out of my way. I am SO grateful to be protected.

I was complaining about these terrorist A**holes who make it necessary for these new regulations. Seriously, I don't know why, but I was so ANGRY this morning when I heard about this latest plot.

well if you are going to be angry, you might as well be angry at the terrorists responsible for all of this

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Is it an inconvenience, sure. But no one should truly complain. And I'll be so annoyed if at the airport people are still trying to get liquids on--this is what's causing the long wait. it's for our safety.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

NO, I think they should just keep quiet. Would they rather risk their life for a shampoo bottle??? I don't think so. People are just being petty..

ETA: This might be a new thing now...not being able to bring carry-ons on the plane now. Good, it's for our safety. People will just have to adjust to the "new" way of doing things. It's not our country's fault, they're just looking to protect us. Be angry at the terrorists who put us all in this situation.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I cannot understand why people complain for that, nor can I understand why people complain when they have to take their shoes off or they get pulled aside to get their bags checked before boarding.
It's not a personal affront, it's a safety measure ... deal with it.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Svck it up and deal with it! sure its inconvenient, but it is a very small thing to do to ensure your safety.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I thinkw e all have the right to complain, I'm sure I have complained aboutt he new procedures since they are time consuming. But then I look at the big picture and feel Security is priceless.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I can understand why people would complain. It is an annoyance. Is it better for our safety - of course! But still, just another annoying thing to deal with because people are evil and stupid in this world.
However, as much as I'd like to believe that all this will protect us better, as I was watching GMA this morning, one of the newswomen showed footage of herself flying from (I belive it was LA) to Chicage. She carried on her half finished bottle of water - totally on top of her carryon, not even like she was trying to hide it, and they showed a man getting on a plane with his Starbucks frappachino. So, really, unless these restrictions are universal, what the heck good is it?

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I never understood why people complain about this. Would they rather there be no security, but fast lines? Patience is a dying thing. I think all the impatient people should be allowed to go on planes with fast lines and no security. Maybe that'll solve the problem.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

No, no right to complain.

But it will be a problem for the airlines to get all the luggage on the plane. Travelers need to learn how to pack - and to ship items they purchase that can't go in checked baggage.

I travel a lot. I don't carry a big carry-on, and get annoyed at people who do. I don't mind waiting if it means we will be safer.

But I DO mind the people who try to get through security without removing their shoes (duh!), emptying their pockets or taking off their jackets and have to go back and fortha a few times -- THIS is what is holding up the process more than anything!!

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I think everyone has the right to complain...but in light of recent events I cannot imagine WHY anyone would choose to complain now. Just deal - it is what it is. I would hope that people would be more concerned with safety than convenience.

But that's just more of our entitled society rearing its ugly head again.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Would you rather be annoyed or alive?

Bottom line to me.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

no right to complain. if you dont like it, drive to your destination.

id rather throw out my shampoo then get blown up in an airplane.

I dont understand why people would complain it's for their own saftey

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

people will complain about anything and everything....

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Having just flown home from Chicago last night, I want to weigh in.

There seems to be a lot of inconsistency at the airports on WHAT can't be brought on.

Some security people were making women throw out ALL of the cosmetics they had in the purses along with their eye drops, bottled water, etc.

I was more fortunate with my makeup, but I must have spent $15 dollars on various bottles of water throughout the airport that had to be thrown out after each checkpoint. Plus with the 3 hour delay, it made life even more difficult.

But, did I complain? No. But, I was one of the more lucky people.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

The more I think about it... my biggest complaint is that the process of flying is becoming more difficult for everyone because of a few a-holes.

Am I glad that they're in place for our protection? Of course. It just sucks that we have to be protected and can't just feel safe.

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

I saw this on the news too. People complaining that they had to throw out cosmetics, toiletries, etc and want to be compensated.

that is nonsense..

would you rather your expensive perfume or be safe..priorities needt o be checked...

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

people should not complain at all, I mean, what is the alternative?

People need to have patience and deal with it like everyone else. I for one am happy when I see the airlines restricting certain things and checking luggage. It makes me feel a little safer

Re: do you think people have a right to complain about the new regulations in airports after the recent terrorist attempt?

If I had to fly early yesterday morning with NO clue as to what had happened and I was in the airport watching them throw away my make up and small toiletries that I normally put in my carry on - yes, I would be annoyed.

But since I know what happened and the reason why these new rules will be implemented - nope, I'm not going to complain. I will put it all in my luggage and just deal with it.
