I think that we have become a nation of sheeple who never argue or protest when our rights are being trampled upon by an increasingly obtrusive Federal government. If they do this to me, I will protest loudly and defend my right to be free of harassment as a citizen of this pitiful country. Would any of you do the same or join in some sort of protest against this treatment?

Keep the citizens scared. Rule numero uno in keeping their minds off important matters such as their family's well being. The rich elite in this country just love what they can get away with when the middle class is distracted with "National Security".
I don't like it either and get very irritated by it when I fly, which is often. However, we are on federally regulated airlines, and TSA is accountable for maintaining security, so there is a fine line. I would prefer to be patted down than take a bus or drive so I do it.

I was hoping that Obama would at least rid of us that ridiculous "color warning" system that they invented after 9-11 "the color for the day is now YELLOW"- who cares? The airport experience now feels like scenes from "1984" or "V for Vendetta". I mostly drive when I can just to avoid the crappy treatment that we receive at the airports. The 9-11 terrorists have WON. We are the least FREE that we have ever been in this country.
I think those who are considering changing jobs or not flying should be writing hotel chains, travel agents, theme parks and airlines snail mail letters (businesses ALWAYS read snail mail letters) explaining personally that they may not take that vacation or will take a shorter one because they do not plan to fly. Make it a handwritten or at least personal letter to a person. Let them see the stack of letter pile up and this will be even more impressive than the phone calls or emails.
An 8 year old will NOT understand that its not okay for anyone to touch them but if its a tsa agent its okay. If they do then mom and dad didn't get through. This is utterly uncalled for.
We are becoming sheeple who will go baaaa for the call of Danger Will Robinson and yet I think they may have discovered some things may go too far. Or at least I hope.
All I know is that I will be getting my train ticket WAY early for the spring trip I plan since I assume the train will be full. No way would I submit to either.
And I like that someone else says that at this point maybe the terrorists won. Because they have and if we let this slip by they have solidified their victory even more.

Great point on the 8 year old. That's a problem based in the security reaction and also in political correctness.

I strip down naked as the day I was brought into this world and then proceed to put my clothes back on.

What would you do if this happened to you at the Airport?
