Are you the same people who think illegal wire-taps are ok because YOU've got nothing to hide? Geez! Go back and take 5th grade civics again. People need to wake up and smell the disappearing civil liberties. Of course our crack-smoker is an idiot, but why can't he decide not to board after all? By the way, it has taken many millions of dollars in salaries and legal fees to establish and maintain our entire legal system. Our system is one which provides redress to all of its citizens--even the crackheads. It's one thing that (at least until recently) has set us apart as a civilized society. OMG!

Because some idiot tried to board a plane with a crack pipe?

What an idiot! I guess that's why they call it 'dope'.
