I don't think asking invasive QUESTIONS is as humiliating as groping someone; I don't think it's humiliating at all, actually. I had to do it to get my security clearance. If every person who tried to bomb a plane was named Sue, and my name was Sue, I would expect to be questioned and just deal with it. I would not expect to be strip searched unless my name was Sue, AND I was a member of a known hate group, AND I was acting nervous. Again, Ben Gurion is the most targeted airport and El Al is the most targeted airline, YET they are the safest. You can disagree all you want, but the FACT is, what they are doing is working. All of the attempted bombers here have made it on the plane DESPITE the ridiculous measures we are taking. Yeah, the kind of society that gropes small children? The kind of society that gives up all their rights like sheep to the slaughter? Okey Dokey then, you drink that Kool-Aid.

Again, I would like to point out that the SAFEST airport in the WORLD, the Ben Gurion International Airport, in Israel, does NOT use these scanners. THEY PROFILE. They have tons of other security measures in place (that I linked to in my other post on the other thread) but none of them humiliate every flyer who comes through. If someone is suspected, they get asked lots of invasive QUESTIONS and have their stuff done through, but they aren't losing basic rights UNLESS THEIR IS REASONABLE SUSPICION. The thing that bugs me so much is that American people are willing to subject every single flyer who goes through, including innocent women and children, US Soldiers, and government workers with TOP SECRET security clearances to this invasion of privacy, but WILL NOT subject a small portion of people to PROFILING, which involves nothing more than invasive QUESTIONS and search of STUFF. Add to that, that Muslim groups are already trying to get Muslim women excluded from the pat downs (except for head and neck). So, Muslim terrorists try to take down airplanes, and what are the GENIUS Americans going to do? Take away the rights of innocent citizens and soldiers while excluding Muslim women from the screening and not profile the men, b/c it might OFFEND them !?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!? SO, we can offend EVERYONE ELSE and traumatize/feel up 3 yr. olds, but not question the very people who fit the profile of the troublemakers???????? Meanwhile, we are NO safer b/c of it......... I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. :confused:
