So if you don't want your children being searched drive your own car, because I don't want anyone sitting next to me on a plane who hasn't been throughly searched.
Maybe it would be better if you got off the plane and leave the rest of the passengers who just need to travel alone. Charter your own plane and grope the pilot.

umm maybe it should be the other way around the people who have the problem with being searched should have their own aircraft. Then that way there wouldn't be anymore topics like this.

The last thing an airline needs is a paranoid lunatic on the flight. That causes all kinds of problems.

Also, you're in the minority so instead of all of the rest of us having to switch how we travel, you go ahead and drive your car over to Europe since you think everyone is out to get you.

It absolutely needs to GO.

Between the legitimate possibility of harassment by TSA and the overall state of the airline industry (more fees, less service), it's exactly why my husband and I no longer travel by air anymore.

It's not worth it to us.

Looks like a double TSA homerun today:

Why? Because they were sold a bill of goods in 2002 that TSA + DHS = Completely SAFE From Terrorism.

They were also told -- and accept -- the resultant loss in civil rights is 'justified'.

This agency is such a disgrace. Yes they should be eliminated and every single clown fired. Then said clowns should be banished to Guatanamo for terrorist acts against US citizens.

I guess I can count on you to pick up the can.

It's the contradictory nature of this agency refuting nearly every single article of your constitution and bill of rights that makes the rest of the world chuckle.

Think of the victory won by these terrorists; you are not allowed to profile anyone while engaged in normal policing duties but when it comes to stepping on that plane you're not only denied your rights but assumed guilty until the search proves you innocent. Napoleonic law as practiced in Mexico at it's best.

Free and brave.... I think not!
