I bet you say that to all your friends. (don't complain, you started it)
The issue isn't that they are conducting these searches. The issue is they are Randomly searching Americans, with no cause.
The issue is, how many bombs have they found during these RANDOM searches?
I would bet it is ZERO.
Keep up the searches, keep up the pat-downs, or body cavity searches if necessary, BUT INTELLIGENTLY SELECT possible terrorists based on a knowledge of HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY, use PROFILING (pioneered by the FBI) and BRING BACK THE DOGS.
And that the TSA has become a bloated federal bureaucracy.
