Don't touch me there?

Unfortunately, opting out of flying doesn't work for anyone traveling to any place overseas. We don't really want to go back to ship travel now do we?

This is terrible. The American public should take a stand against this. Maybe if we all boycott travel, the airline industry would lose business, and the government would come back to their senses and get rid of these terrible machines and molesting pat downs.

The chances of dying in a plane crash are much higher than dying because of some idiot with evil intentions. Flying is always a risk. Get real. The security system after 911 was doing a great job. What was the point of adding this nonsense?

Well other countries have been doing this for years, I had this done in the middle east 10 years ago. I think the United States got too lax and now they are going too far the other way.

I think there must be some threats we aren't hearing about, I think they don't want to get everyone up in arms. I personally would just opt for the scanner.

LOTS of people were complaining about this before that guy said "don't touch my junk"

This has been a topic of conversation since everyone found out that this would be the new policy.

I wasn't aware this was a game - except maybe to the nuts with the box cutters.

Richard put down 9/11 - I'm not sure why. I said box cutters because that was the weapon of choice on that date. They should/would have been seen by a metal detector.

I should have stayed out of it. I think he's just trying to make a point about body scans and pat downs.

Perhaps if the United States had kept their noses out of every other country's business over the years, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Just a thought.
