Tough choices when trying to protect people and then of course you've got the ones that get rich off of this too...humm...

If I flew often I wouldn't want to have to deal with this on a regular basis either.

Yep...terrorist are sitting back at this.

You're more likely to slip and die in the shower..

Because they won.

We lost our freedoms, and worst of all, we did it to ourselves...with the help of stupid politicians, and the complicit help of all rational people who didn't stand up against the bullshit.

Than what...doing away with security screening at airports and flying alot ? Humm...don't think so.

Just to be clear...I said I don't like these scanners or being searched either.

I guarantee you though...lesson security at the airport and you'll start seeing some more boom boom with commercial aircraft.

...Of the people, by the people, for the people.

People suck, hence, their governments do.

Actually, your bacon double cheeseburger is more likely to kill you than any accident. But, a fall in your own home is statistically more likely to kill you than a terrorist thread. At least, in this country.

Israel has more security measures and requirements, and yet you're more likely to explode there. It isn't the security measures that save you, it's the common sense of it.

Oh crap... we're fucked...

Problem is, you can easily carry a bomb (or toxic chemicals) in your carry-on. They don't use sniffers unless you are pulled aside for additional checks. I have carried bags of protein powder in my carryon several times, and nobody asked to see what they were. Ask yourself, what is the bigger risk, someone carrying a deadly device in their bag, or up their anus? It's a fucking waste of taxpayer money to pay for these scanners when they haven't addressed the bigger risk first.

No doubt... and considering how they are too PC to profile the people who are most likely to be a terrorist in the first place... Plus, how much of a risk is it that huge crowds form at the entrance to the security check? You want to bring this country to it's knees?... blow yourself up at the security checkpoint... fuck, you could walk up with 100lbs of exposives and NOBODY would say shit to you.

IMHO, liberty should not be compromised for any false sense of security.
