I have a personal question. (not) I know some slang words and know about junk but do females have junk or is it called something different. I'm over 25. Just wondering,,
Next, they will be installing scanners to make sure you aren't THINKING about blowing up the planes either.

All this, and we're still not allowed to profile. Amazing.
I'm not so worried about aircraft being used as missiles so much anymore. I have a feeling the terrorists are moving on to bigger and better while we invade the privacy of travelers. If the government could show proof that the tactics of the TSA have thwarted a disaster, then maybe we'd have a better debate. I think the government just wants to show us that they are doing something to protect us, and this is just the latest and greatest (bad) idea.

You should see what I can do with a tightly rolled up magazine or newspaper, not alone a pen or pencil. I agree with you 100% on the glass and umbrella.

You cannot reason with these people. They will always come back with a quote or scenario that is ultra extreme or just plain irrelevant and misused. They cry about what freedoms or liberty we will give up next yet are to blind to see that we have been moving towards a Socialist state for decades. I will kill for my freedom if need be but you must know we live with an illusion of freedom.
I will not give up anything I do not want or have to. This is about finding threats to lives PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
I REFUSE TO ARGUE THIS POINT ANYMORE! So do not bother challenging me or replying with some idiotic histrionic misguided reply.
All I know for sure as when it does hit the fan for real I will be safe and so will my loved ones and I will readily kill to ensure that

Of course it violates our rights.
Since airport security is not privately run and since passengers are not given a choice to reject the screening if things get too invasive, it necessarily constitutes an unlawful search since there is no reasonable cause nor court issued warrant.
