We're talking about AIRPORT security here. Stick to the subject. And yes, he's a perfect example of a domestic terrorist seeing as he's trying to Socialize the USA. But that's another subject completely.

I don't mind a full body scan, especially if it sped up the boarding process. But I would prefer better profiling.

They pulled both of us aside. It was more annoying then anything. Taking my belt off, all of my outer clothing off, taking my laces out of my shoes so they could be sniffed. Then the pat down. It was worse then being frisked before going to jail. I didn't care though, as I said, I had nothing to hide. That and I had plenty of time before my flight.
If the guy behind you was foolish to be wearing a turban rag on his head, he deserves to be profiled. when in rome, do as the romans do.

I can't decide which is more disturbing; The idea of such an invasion of privacy or the apathy.

Yes

If you have nothing to hide then why would you not want to?

Those who do not want to must have something to hide.
