The only point of the TSA (You don’t get on until we get off) is to get the people used to surrendering their rights at will and to go through checkpoints when travelling.

I've had a similar recurring thought. This is just the wind up, the pitch has yet to leave the hand. This is going over the top so that we'll take anything “less invasive”. The whole thing is loosey-goosey as some airports don't even HAVE the scanners, yet, so the “enhanced pat downs” are the only option. Nope. This is just the distraction. Look for what's really coming. I think you'll see it shortly.
