I dont think you went to war to protect my not so virgin breasts. I travelled to other countries and have had those patdowns numerous times. They are gonna be careful in this country cause we are a nation of whiners and neuronics. It's not the end of the world, it's not rape, it's not traumatic.
Remember that in a year or so when body cavity searches are added to the TSA routine.

When you are ready to finally say NO, it will be too late
I think that some woman might disagree with that. Some women are very modest and might feel violated. It's really very subjective. You make no sense. I'm not talking about the 9-11 tragedy. I am saying that there was already a procedure in place that seemed to work since there were obviously no other attacks since 9-11. So why bring the gropers into the process?
I wish that some terrorist would find a way to hide some bombs in their nutsac and get through the gropers just to prove that they are really just wasting our time.
and there were no attacks before 9-10-10. it doesn't mean the system was perfect. And no I don't enjoy it but I'm not a crybaby or neurotic biatch who has nothing better to do that pretend her breasts are the center of the universe. There are worst things happening in doctor's offices, drive if your breast virginity is that important.

You need to stop looking down at your breasts and look up at the freedoms lost, surrendered like scared little children.
when was the last time you took a flight? I took one a week ago and I wasn't treated like a criminal.
I took one today and security was a non-event. No groping or nude scans ... something of an anti-climax really.
But, seriously, the security is getting over the top. The TSA is forever guarding against yesterday's attack, not the one tomorrow. Now, I understand that they have a budget to spend and if they don't spend it then it will probably get cut. So that means fancier machines and they have to find a way to get people to use the machines and the nude scan, in my view, is preferable to getting groped.
But, if the threat of attack is so imminent, why are we not guarding all public places the way we are guarding airports? Do we really think that the terrorists are so stupid that they are going to focus on the most heavily guarded targets? In Europe, they went after commuter trains and subways so what is the TSA doing to protect commuters? And there are a lot more of them than there are people taking flights.
If there was any kind of consistency at the TSA I could have some sympathy for them. But there is not and there will never be. That is because the task of "protecting" us all is way beyond their means. So this over-the-top security at airports ends up being meaningless in the broader scheme of things. Of course, there should be security .... but lets get a sense of proportion about how much we need.
The whole scenario was goofy...Why not just not allow the woman on the flight?
cause they clearly said they won't allow anyone. It was all over the news.
She just wanted camera time, this incidents happen quite often in boring states like Texas where people have nothing better to do than go after their 15 minutes of fame.

How come they're not guarding people's private places?
