Here’s Hannity discussing the issue with Michelle Malkin. I’m really surprised and dismayed that both of them are more concerned with (false) security than with privacy and protection from intrusive and unreasonable search.
This issue certainly separates the wheat from the chaff. Hero pilot Sullenberger too has objected to the searches on the grounds of inefficient use of resources. As I mentioned elsewhere, “inefficient” should be for things morally neutral. You use that word, you sound morally neutral.
These humiliating searches are immoral. They constitute sexual assault. Period.
Yet here’s Michelle Malkin saying “It’s not the privacy concerns that bother me so much, Sean, as it is the fundamental issues of trust and competence...The question here domestically comes down to, do you trust the TSA to administer this policy in an effective manner?”
Bulletin. I don’t WANT them to be efficient or effective at violating my rights — or anyone’s, or everyone’s.
I expected better from Malkin. Hannity...disappointing but not so much of a surprise. :(
Yes. It wasn’t inefficient for blacks to ride on the back of the bus. It was an insufferable indignity, as are these indecent touching searches and the naked scanners.
