IN my opinion, they should simply have a line for people who do not want to go through the body scanners.
In that line, the screeners can use whatever other methods are necessary, based on the person, to ensure there is no danger. Full-body pat-down, strip search, 20-minute interview, whatever it takes.
I think we should respect the privacy of people who just don’t want to use the fast and easy method.
“whatever it takes.”
Takes for what, exactly? Why are you on a web site called “Free Republic” when you obviously are demanding a powerful, intrusive, and controlling government?
Maybe you’d prefer each night everyone stand at attention outside their home while government agents search and inspect your house for “contraband”? Perhaps Nazi style Hitler Youth to tattletale on you for saying something naughty against the government so you can be executed? Maybe you’d prefer we all just walk around nude and only in areas and pathways that are government approved just so you can “feel safe”?
