“Be prepared to counter the argument effectively,”

I think I have.

“not with an ignorant rant.”

What rant?

“In this case the security clearance parallel won’t hold water.”

I think it will, as your strawman makes the case that any and all actions taken by the government for “safety” are reasonable. In that case, there is no end to TSA tactics, too include body cavity searches. Why? Because there was an assassination attempt by a guy that used his body cavity to hide the explosives. It was set off by a cell-phone. And since everyone is capable of going bad (can't profile), then everyone must submit to a prison-style body cavity search and leave their cell-phone behind.

Question is: Where do you draw the line? Where do reasonable people draw the line?

I pointed out an argument against the solution.

You don’t need to convince me. I’m not the one that will try and stop the idea. If you feel that your answer effectively countered what I’ve pointed out, then this discussion is over.

Now I’m interest to hear who is going to pay for these detailed background checks.
