The idea of taking a family vacation to the U.S. - which I would love to do - is a non-starter if my choice is to: a) have my underage daughters subjected to the body scanner which amounts to child pornography, or b) have them fondled by security guards who are more likely to be terrorists than my kids.

When the best the TSA can say is that these invasive methods 'may' be effective, then it's time to re-think the process. I'd much rather have trained dogs, behavioral profiling, and even racial profiling occur at every Canadian airport than have some stranger pawing at my children in the name of 'security'. That's an assault an battery charge just waiting to happen - to me.....

My guess is that most TSA are not terrorists, or pedophiles, but that TSA are probably dramatically more likely to enjoy fondling young children than are the people you meet in most places. What kind of person wants a job involuntarily fondling strangers, including little children? What kind of person thinks that is a good defensive strategy?

It is conditioning (frog in boiling water) that has happened in the USA. 50 years ago if the TSA tried the same tactic...they would have been destroyed.....No one in the US is supposed to be considered “guilty” unless there is probable cause. There is no need to pat down young children of Christian parents or orthodox Jews. Profiling would be mandatory and mostly muslims and muslim sympathizers would have to go through such invasive security which is just common sense.

Political correctness was created by Cultural Marxists to destroy logic and reason in the US so that we succumb to the ridiculous. They use Alinsky-like tactics (name-calling and popular culture) to discredit those who “fight back” against the unconstitutional acts.

Decent Americans need to refuse to back down when confronted by evil, and these intrusions on American citizens are evil. Whether the response is "don't touch my junk":

or TSA . . . [insert crude comment from GI Jane]

We should not meekly accept violations of the Constitution of the United States of America. Jesus told us to turn the other cheek, but he also told us to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's (and that is a very limited level of compliance) and to sell our extra cloak to buy a sword (but not a huge stack of swords).
