I too hate the invasive searches but we face a quandary with public airliners. It only takes one fool with a package that can fit inside a shoe to bring one down.
IMO, they need to focus more on systems that scan to only detect explosives rather than showing every single physical object on one’s body or bag. It can easily be done for bags but scanning people is another story.
Also, more profiling. Not simply for appearance, but mainly how a person responds to simple questions. The Israelis for example simply ask “name, origin and destination?” while holding your ID and boarding pass. If you hesitate or give the wrong information to such a simple question, they check you further.
I would rather see entire 747s blown to smithereens by terrorists than to see my entire nation being marched into bondage on the excuse of terrorism.
I would rather see entire bus loads of Kindergarteners vaporized by IEDs than see my entire nation shred the constitution, and surrendered into Marxist oppression by the 51% who pay no taxes and surrender their liberty for security at breakneck pace.
Terrorist can only destroy so many people so fast. Few here few there. Far far less than die in car accidents each year. Socialism is destroying our nation and depriving us our freedom.
Much better a random terrorist gets through. Much much better we were all armed so very few random terrorists ever get through.
