I am not either- but the big "don't touch my junk" story was predicated on this. Go back and read the first articles about this.
OK.. let me make this clear- I believe that the scanners and the pat-downs stink! And do go against our civil rights. They are not REASONABLE in terms of civil rights in the US. I am, however, concerned about racial profiling and security measures and have been since 9/11.
Funny, I am not the only poster that has brought up the legality of what airline carriers have as Terms of Service. and in his case, it is part of the story and the investigation that is going on. GeeZusssss!!!
So, what are REASONABLE security measures at airports that do not infringe upon our civil liberties? Only check people that "look like terrorists?" which was exactly what was going on after 9/11 for quite awhile until people pointed out
this is racial profiling. everyone goes through the exact same procedures, no matter what color they are or what kind of clothing or what they might be wearing on or around their head.
Maybe the majority of people in the US would rather there were no security checks at all? Frankly, all of them are intrusive to some degree.
