Finally someone noticed

Recently the House of Representatives passed the "Risk-based security screening for members of the armed forces act". This act (if passed by the Senate and President Obama) makes security checks at the airport for military members in uniform faster and less invasive. These less thorough security checks only apply to military members in uniform and on official orders, also anyone traveling with them. The reason why I chose this article is because it always frustrated me when I had to fly because I had been treated like a terrorist and almost strip searched when in fact I am one of the people fighting for this country. Finally someone took notice and decided that military members shouldn't be searched as harshly because we are one the same side as these TSA power tripping officials. I also agree with the fact that they put in the act that it has to be a military member on official business, meaning that in order to receive these benefits you have to actually have orders going somewhere (which could be deployment or orders for leave, which is basically the only time you get to go home and see your family). This means that not just any military member can take advantage of this if they are in uniform (mainly the army because they are the only ones allowed to wear their utility uniform (camouflage) in public.
