1. Scanners

I personally want to feel safe and be safe!!!

Maybe the right-wingers who are denouncing the President about this could pay for extra planes - so people can do whatever they want to do. ACLU!? Seriously??????

2. Security Theater or Security TSA

When the gen­tle­man from San Diego stripped to his biker shorts to avoid being molested again, he was told he had to put his clothes back on. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local-beat/Passenger-Chooses-Strip-Down-Over-Pat-Down-109872589.html?dr It is obvi­ous from a visual perusal of his body that he has no explo­sives or other devices on him. If this was REALLY about secu­rity that should have been enough. This is no longer about secu­rity it is about sex­ual assault, molest­ing and power.

6. Look at he minumum wage hacks they use, this is all about weak people drinking in some sort of sick

power.

3. Explosive sniffing dogs are a much better solution

They do a better job and they are not as intrusive.

4. It made me very uncomfortable just watching the "pat down" segments

Especially the older folks, and children.

Pilot Patrick makes good points about doing this smarter.

5. "Security Theatre" is great phrase.
