People from other countries, coming into the US, have not gone through these invasive searches.
Therefore, how is it about safety and security?
It's all about control.

Okay one thing I don't understand is if most of the ATS community see's the TSA's actions as bad. WHy do we see the polls that say most American's agree with TSA and their security policies?

It's psyops, they're trying to get public opinion to turn against those protesting.
If you have to resort to the pat down - be sure to ask them to put on a clean pair of gloves before they touch you. This is essential hygiene. You have the right to insist on this, even if it does slow things down - just sayin'

Yes, you should!
The other option is to hire a private pilot, and fly. Not as cheap as driving, but it is still quicker, and
you can keep your privacy...and maintain your dignity.

That is a great point.
These people can very easily spread STD's rampantly by using the same gloves.
This is no different than a hospital reusing a dirty needle.

It seems to me, the main issue of the TSA, is purely to steal away rights, freedom, and dignity.
People from other countries, coming into the US, have not gone through these invasive searches.

It's all about control.
One observation I have made is the people who are basically saying "Suck it up people" "Get used to it" etc etc are the ones who are probably exempt from these pat downs/scans.

kind of like how the TSA's biggest mouthpiece (janet napolitano) came out and said that the hopkins university claims the machines are safe.
...and for those of you who still cherish honesty:
DHS claim to safety
DHS's own source claiming otherwise
