Should 90 year old women be patted down just to "be fair"?

32. Robert Dear is 57.

The unabomber started sending off his bombs when he was 33. He was 52 when apprehended.

The guy who shot up the holocaust museum was unusually old, 88 at the time.

But none of them were women, and most significantly younger than 90.

I was an airline employee starting back before any security at all, and I am utterly unimpressed with the TSA security theater these days. I very rarely fly, because I don't want to put up with the bullshit, and I'm willing to drive for a couple of days if necessary. Heck, almost any drive time less than 10 hours is probably faster than getting to an airport that's an hour away two hours ahead of the departure time, and then driving another hour from the destination airport to wherever I'm headed. Plus, I have my car with me.

A year and a half ago I took Amtrak from New Mexico to Portland OR, and just wish there were many more routes to travel by train.
