The Perfect Rhetorical Question

Peter Robinson gives a perfect example of a rhetorical question when he asks:

Can anybody tell me why, when we possess technology so dazzling that pretty good face recognition is available in cameras that cost less than a hundred and fifty bucks—why does the Transportation Security Authority still insist on herding all air travellers, including such obviously unlikely terrorists as toddlers and little old ladies, through security checks that are slow, cumbersome, and, manifestly, stupid? Why doesn't the federal government get smart? We're in the eighth year of a Republican administration, for goodness's sake. And—really, the most disturbing question—why do we all put up with it?

Okay, maybe not one rhetorical question, but several. I could ask an even dozen more off the top of my head.
