TSA...you are more than welcome to search me.
Better to be groped then blown up. Besides the odds of you getting fondled by a TSA agent are super low (it's like only 3% of passengers). If people would just hush up and let themselves be scanned, everything would move a lot smoother.
Sacrificing freedom for security is something we do to live in a civilized society. You aren't free to drive your car 200 mph in downtown...why...because it isn't safe. You aren't free to tote rocket launchers threw the supermarket...why...because it isn't safe. An you can't enter a high risk area (plane, the white house, your local court house) with out being search...why...because not search people puts you and your other visitors/travelers at risk. Is it fun...no. Does anyone want to get searched...no.
Let me ask another question...how many would choose to die in the wreckage of plane because some delusional person decided to make a political point? Are you willing to loose your son, or your daughter, because someone didn't take the time search properly? How about your spouse? Who's willing to put flowers on a empty grave, because they never found your loved ones body ? I don't see a whole lot of hands up.
Riding on a airplane is a privilege, not a right. No where in the constitution does it say "Thou will be allowed to travel on a airliner, with out regard for the personal safety of others."
I will bet the same people who scream about violation of privacy (which you where never promised in the first place) are the same ones who would say "They didn't do enough" if, god forbid, another Sept 11 style attach happens.
