Anyone actually read the story? It doesn't appear to me that Gore requested that security be by-passed - does it to you? Did he decline the special treatment? Or was he unaware that people are generally required to go through security measures? Wouldn't that make Al Gore "out of touch"?

But the thing I noticed ... Al Gore was catching a flight on a commercial jet!! I got the impression (in another Gore-bashing thread) that the guy only flew on private jets. Well, first of all, I don't think anyone has ever said he ONLY flys private jets, merely that he DOES fly on private jets frequently (for nothing more than his own convenience). But, I would be willing to bet heavily that even when flying commercially, he is slamming his fat ass down in first class....representing a bigger carbon footprint than those flying coach!

And speaking of Al's fat ass...wonder how much of a carbon footprint all of the food he is apparently consuming is leaving behind!
