If he (Obama) thinks this is an appropriate way for us to deal with security as he has defended, then I’ve said, ‘OK, Mr. Obama, take your wife, your two daughters and your mother-in-law to Washington Reagan National Airport and have them publicly go through both the body scanner and the full enhanced pat-down in front of others,’” Huckabee told Fox and Friends Tuesday morning.
“‘If it’s OK for your wife, your daughters, and your mother-in-law, then maybe the rest of us won’t feel so bad when our wives, our daughters and our mothers are being put through this humiliating and degrading, totally unconstitutional, intrusion of their privacy.’”

Rush & Huckabee Challenge Obama: Let the TSA Pat Down the First Family | The Blaze

Great idea by Huckabee and Rush....why not? Like Rush said, Obama swam in the gulf as a stunt to show us the water is okay, why not go through the TSA policies?

The Mayor of L.A. did it....

LA mayor gets airport body scan, urges cooperation (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fn%2Fa%2F2010%2F11%2F22%2Fstate%2F n130816S79.DTL - broken link)

So, I will be SHOCKED totally SHOCKED is someone votes no......WHY NOT? If you think the TSA policies are fine, then why can't Obama go through them???

Practically everyone in Congress is exempt.

The government makes rules they do not need to follow.

Little taste of their own medicine. I think all governments should have to follow the policies they put in place. Maybe then they'd make more reasonable policies.

I agree. It's a great idea.

Except pat-downs aren't done on the 12 and under set ... I'm not sure how old the girls are.

I want EVERY single politician in this country to have to endure every rule THEY make possible.

Not one of them should be exempt, including the president or any of the ex presidents & vice-presidents.
