A&E,What have you done?

It is a terrible commentary on television when A&E has to stoop to the idiocy of "reality" TV. This was the channel that was my refuge from the lowest common denominator entertainment mind-set. What next? Real life gladiatorial games on the History Channel? This show also raises the question of the quality of "heightened security" at our nation's airports. If any dingbat with a TV camera can get through all that security under the guise of reality television, how safe are we really?
