I hardly think it’s Drudge’s fault that people don’t want to be touched inappropriately. I don’t want to be touched by strangers period. I really don’t care if you don’t have a problem with it. That makes you the strange one, not other people.
Nobody cares if you are sick and tired of it.
Granted.
So why do they search those LEAST LIKELY to be carrying a bomb?
The problem is not with the 'search', the problem is with whom they select to search.
Many years ago, the DEA had trained agents and dogs to ferret out those who looked/acted suspicious. Now we can't have trained agents (like the Israeli's do) or dogs. And we can't search the most likely suspects AT ALL.
That is the real problem.
