What a card

OK, let me see if I’ve got this straight. Dean Cameron invented this “Security Edition” card knowing that it’s likely to trip the metal detectors and require the intervention of airport security employees (“Prodding Airport Security,” March 30).

Oh, and he is actually selling these on a Web site and hopes to soon turn a profit.

Well, when that profit translates to a future trip on an airline, may he experience the inconvenience of having the security checkpoint line being stalled due to the magnetometer alarm tripped by himself or, better yet, by a recipient of one of his cards. Then when he has been caused to miss his flight due to a security backup at the checkpoint will he reap the rewards of the exercise of his rights, smug in the thought of having caused this shared inconvenience with other passengers who also have been delayed due to the checkpoint backup. The sheer arrogance and selfishness of some individuals to cling to their personal rights in an effort to flummox safety measures meant for the common good of all travelers through our nation’s airports is difficult to fathom. As an employee of a major domestic carrier whose daily concern has always been in behalf of the safety of our traveling public, I assure you, Mr. Cameron, we will always respect your rights, but internally be disgusted by the lack of consideration and utter disregard of our rights and those of your fellow travelers.
