Don't touch me there?

and the reason they got on the plane with the box cutters was not because of a defect or inefficiency with the TSA screening equipment... it was because box cutters were allowed. I guess they figured nothing bad could happen from box cutters

The thing that gets me (I'd laugh if it weren't such a scary thought) is we are willing to implement these intrusive measures that are basically stripping us (no pun intended) of our rights to look for something the hijackers on 9/11 NEVER EVEN USED when that event is supposedly what we are being saved from

They didn't use BOMBS. There has not been a successful airplane BOMBING since the 80s. if we are SO afraid of bomings then why didn't they start doing this in the 80's when there were ACTUAL BOMBINGS?

it's unreal how AFRAID people are of something that hasn't even happened in over 20 years (in the US) that they are willing to give up their bodies for the illusion of safety.

So WHAT exactly justifies this unbelievable infringement of peoples rights and privacy?
