U.S. bound Irish passengers face intense security checks for the foreseeable future

Continental Airlines is a horrible company. They are always delays and you can never get out of that God forsaken place on time. When I visited Ireland, I took Arelingus. It was a good flight.I had no trouble on crossing to Ireland and back. Arelingus is a lot better than Continental. Don't like Continental.

Ok so have you heard of any 55 yrs old white European hertiaged women strapping on bombs? So why do we get the pat downs. Muslims have been for the most part those who do this so profile them. Scan women having their period with a pad on and it shows up. Now there is an invasion of privacy if I have ever heard of one. What about kids, they don't have a say. We just don't do it right and we always have a knee jerk reaction to the problem.

Hi I was one of the many thousand passengers held up last Sunday evening in Newark and it was a scandal how we were treated by Continental Airlines and the Airport, granted the security issue was none of their doing but closing the gates of the flight before all the people had boarded through no fault of their own at 2 am in the morning with young children having spent 8 hours in the Airport with no apologies or explanation of what was going on this is totally unacceptable and if this is what we have to endure from now on I for one wont be doing much travelling anymore to the US I think they have lost the plot and it just is not worth the hassle

thats ok, I don't mind the security, as long as people are treated with respect I find myself acquiescing to the extra security features. We Irish have never been of any trouble to the US so what do we have to hide.
