They do more intense pat downs at high schools in Newark or Camden NJ then they do in the airports every day.

Can you please explain to me which rights are being taken away? You don't have the right to travel on their planes, you have the right to do commerce freely. You are buying their service, and in order to get the full service, you must oblige their rules. You can choose not to buy their services and take your own plane if you want, they wont scan you then. Please, which ones are being taken away?

With all due respect, what is it like to live in constant fear of something that has virtually no chance of ever killing you?
Do you wake up and immediately have fearful thoughts?
Are you scared of police? If not, may I ask why? They are more likely to kill you than a terrorist is.

I travel multiple times a month. This doesn't bother me one bit. So what, have you ever ridden in a subway in NY during rush hour?
Get over it. There is no other motive here other than to protect us.

So you would be ok with mandatory anal cavity searches since you dont mind being searched right?
