Bec, there is no legitimate reason for millions of people to submit to grope and scan simply because all our "intelligence" agencies are incompetent. Out of the 4 airplanes hijacked on 9-11, only one was willing to defend themselves from the hijackers. Sok is right about the U.S. heading in the wrong direction. It will be very difficult to undo what complacency has allowed government to strip from our dignity. Polarizing us on what is right or wrong is what makes us a conquered people.



Echt, I agree. I don't approve of the searches the TSA has done. But at the same time I don't mind taking off my shoes to go through security. I almost lost my brother twice. Once on the Locerbie flight and once on 9-11 at the Pentagon. So if I have to walk through a metal detector, take off my shoes, have a wand waved over my body or even have a pat down, I will.

Me too. My feeling is if you have nothing to hide, it shouldn't bother you.

It's not just metal detectors anymore. You have to be prepared to take a zap of radiation going through security. I'm sure in a few years time there will be some study done determining the damaging effects that the TSA and their radiation booths have put millions of Americans and others through at aiport checkpoints. Meantime, has the TSA actually prevented any terrorist plots? or caught anyone with WMD's?

I'd much rather travel via car, and so far trains don't require doses of radiation, or at least not where I've seen yet.

Re:


You get a zap of radiation a lot of different ways. But if it does bother you then you are right, drive or take a train. I love trains, when I'm not in a rush.

Re: F#(% the TSA!


Bec, grope and scan is an unconstitutional bandaid to cover up a much bigger problem. The terrorist win if one person can force everyone boarding a plane to take off their shoes and submit to naked pictures. Where do you draw the line? Again, we are dependent on an incompetent government to protect us from the boogeyman we created. The conformist are on another modern day witch hunt.

I'm pretty sure most TSA agents will go blind and blame you women for being the temptress.

No they won't. They'll go home, and talk about how the government is destroying their lives because it's the government's fault that they went blind.
