When returning to the United States from international destinations, I am appalled that that there is an extra level of security within the airport using equipment given by the US government before I get to my gate. It's a small quality of life thing, but the fact I have to go through a number of hassles that would not be required on a domestic flight in the US is incredibly frustrating. I cannot even bring a bottle of water onto the plane. It also does not make me any safer. Please help end this assinine policy of extra airport security at international airports for flights going to the US.
