Don't touch me there?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Let's see: touch my junk or maybe be blown to a million pieces? Sounds like a no brainer to me.

I don't give you the right to enjoy touching my junk however. hehehehehe

It's more like "Touch my Junk and be just as likely to be blown to pieces when the terrorists figure out the way around this system which is pretty simple" They aren't keeping this new security under wraps. Everyone knows how they work and it's going to be pretty easy for the determined ones to find a way around it.

Like I said before... when they start sticking the bombs where the sun don't shine or swallowing one will we all be happy to submit to mandatory cavity searches?

Guess it will depend on how much we want to arrive alive.

You are NEVER guaranteed to arrive alive anywhere you go. YOu can get the colonoscopy and the plane could still go down. A terrorist could be very skilled in hand to hand combat and take out the pilot. can't screen for that.

The plane could malfunction and go down.

You could drive your car and get in an accident.

The train could go off the tracks.... etc etc etc

you are NEVER guaranteed another day. Why give up your freedoms and your constitutional rights for that slim chance that something bad could happen especially considering this new system is quite easy to find a way to get around it.

We are so crippled by our fear that we are willing to give up anything for the illusion of safety

but rest assured you are NEVER going to be guaranteed that you will arrive alive.

if I'm afraid to fly... I simply won't fly (nice that I have the option not to fly). I won't make everyone else give up their rights for MY fear.

Sparks do you fly? Many people have to do so daily. And as I said before, if we could ask the 9.11 souls if they would mind these searches now I doubt any would.
There is a difference between being safe and being paranoid.
I would rather be stipped searched then blown up in a plane, you maybe not. Maybe the idea of being naked or searched is scarier for you.
But it is not about me or you, it's about ALL the innocent souls on the plane.

I choose not to fly. I am AFRAID of flying so I don't do it (not afraid because of terrorists... just a fear of flying). I didn't used to be afraid of flying. Just developed randomly.

I am aware that many people don't get the choice to not fly so they don't get the choice to NOT be fondled and groped.

THIS is not keeping you safer. This isn't some top secret hush hush project. It's a scanner that sees your skin. Then it's a pat down. That's quite easy to get around.

This is only giving the illusion of safety.

You're right... it's not about you or me. it's about all the innocent people who are being violated and touched inappropriately under the guise of safety even though it's really NOT safer. It's not going to STOP the terrorists from trying to blow up planes.

man all they gotta do is place a bomb in the cargo or get a job with the TSA (easy enough to do.. even people with criminal backgrounds can work for the TSA) and voila.

I mean if I can come up with ways around it then surely the determined terrorists have many ways around it.

This is just a pacifier to shut people up and soothe them until they realize that it was just a pacifier and not a solution for their problem.

There were terrorist attacks and planes blown up LONG before 9/11 and since 9/11 how many planes have gone down to terrorist attacks? What is justifying this NEW extreme measure?

Well this is a start. It is not perfect, but a start. They do what they can to insure peoples safety but then all the protesters come out of the woodwork and complain about governement interference and people's rights and so on and so forth.
My daughters boyfriend is a TSA. He and his co-workers try their best to keep people safe, after all they fly, their loved ones fly as well.
People are all up in arms about their rights and don't touch me here don't touch me there. Get over it. Shout up. Do what you are told. Move forward. There are 200 people behind you who have a life to lead and problems to overcome and they don't need your whinning. Lets all just do our best and get safely where we are going.
If you do have to fly someday these things might save your life.

What wasn't working about what they were doing before this?

Again how many planes went down to terrorist attack after 9/11? Any?

People SHOULD be all up in arms about their rights. If you would like to be treated like cattle and herded through and poked and proded that's your business but don't expect people to just bend over and take it because you are SCARED of somethign that hasn't happened successfully since 9/11.

We got lazy before 9/11. that's why they were successful. Since then they have not been successful. there was no reason to push for this. NO reason to violate people.

This is a start... but not a start towards our safety. This doesn't make us safer. Just now our assaults will happen on our own turf by our own citizens. hooray.

We are all going to die someday.

Are you for real? These comments sound like the 1930s in the middle of Europe - that small man who was determined to take over the world.

Do what you are told . . . . Move forward

Disgusting.
