...said Denver is America's best-run airport, but it's still not good enough. Why? The numerous checkpoints, the random searches of infants and grandmothers and the constant scrutiny are more than enough. No matter how much security is in place, there will always be people who will stop at nothing to destroy our liberty. What's next, setting up metal detectors outside every citizen's front door?
