Post 911. Terrorists will exploit that hole in our system if we stop doing it. TSA, no doubt, are very professional about this. And hey, they're just kids. They'll think its fun, having a stranger poking around in their genital areas.

Its all just peachy keen. Gotta be safe.



What

2. I wouldn't let anyone grope my dog like that...
I don't know how parents can watch their terrified child be "felt up" like that without totally losing it.

3. One moron woman was on our local nooz saying she was okay with it so long as it was evenly applied
And so long as it "wasn't too rough."

Whaaaaat? "Too rough????"

6. Yeah, that made no sense to me either.
Along racial lines?

Along gender lines?

Along economic lines?

Along age lines?

I can't even conceive of what group/category of kids might be "unfairly targeted".

5. We have become East Germany
Go look up how the Stasi operated, then take a good look at how our Department of Homeland Security operates. "See something, say something" (encouraging citizens to freelance spy on each other and report each other to government security agencies) is as East German a philosophy as there ever was.
