This isn't about open borders. Jeepers. So if I stuff a basketball under my shirt, no one dare wonder if it is a real baby?

I could strap a gun to my leg also, or a wooden stake that will slip past the scanners.

Let's just strip search everyone and then call them names if they don't like the idea.

You aren't even making sense now. Do you want them to pat search anyone or not?

Not a good idea, I'd say. It appears from your messages that you do not fly much, if at all. Your leg gun will get you handcuffed instantly. It's a felony. Your wooden stake might get through, but not if you get further screening. Again, a felony. How about being considerate of others, removing all the metal from your pockets, don't wear steel-toed shoes and just walk through the screening? How about just following the rules currently applying to air travel and streamlining the whole process? But, if you don't fly, who cares? Just make nasty comments to those who think the extra security just might be worthwhile...once the new screeners get the hang of it. It's your right.
