So you are traveling in some parallel universe where they have the kind of security system you envision? No? Then feel free to FEEL more secure because you don’t object to invasive “security” procedures, exposing yourself to a gawker viewing the scanner or to a grope session with some guy named Bubba. Of course that doesn’t mean that the guy going thru the line behind you isn’t packing an explosive tampon up his butt, or that security will detect it even if they do grope him right after they finish groping you.
I am just saying that if you want to fix the system, then fix it right. You apparently agree that the present system sucks. Lowering the government-ordered security level will not fix it, but only result in a system which also sucks. And in case you haven’t noticed, that system also exists only in “a parallel universe.” Why not give the consumer a choice? If you don’t want to submit to the search, then you can go on the other airline. Why must you adherents to Big Government always dictate that everyone be treated exactly the same, even if it is easy to accommodate their different preferences?
