Well, compare Frankfurt, Germany’s airport to our own, and you’ll see a huge difference. I don’t want to get into the pat-down/body scanner thing, but having landed at Frankfurt many times, I’ve seen pairs of soldiers patrolling the hallways with their Uzis very regularly since Sept. 9, 2011. I understand also that Frankfurt is a hub which will see more of the dangers we will, but we sure have had some close calls.
