By buying a ticket and going through the various search points and security measures, we give up quite a few rights. It's in the fine print on the airline/ticket purchasing sites. I'm not saying it's right; just that that is how it is at this point in time.

Interesting how the media I have been seeing about this hasn't focused on that you bring up that is very important- that fine print! He is an adult person that can read and purchased his ticket!
I see some of the issues some people are having about the body scanners, pat downs, etc., but, yes.... these measures have been taken for some pretty sobering and realistic reasons.
Probably because I don't fly often, I just do what is required for securiy when I do fly. It will be the same with these newer measures taking effect. I can understand how people that need to fly often can get annoyed with this. Yet, not having these safeguards seems nuts to me. Only takes one bomb, weapon (remember the box cutters) to cause a major disaster with innocent people being killed or injured.
