I don't have to submit to de-humanizing actions in silence. If you're willing to give up your personal freedoms for a false sense of security, by all means spread 'em and put your hands up. I have no problem with you doing that. It's your body and if you have no problem with a stranger feeling and groping your most intimate parts, then by all means do so.

Other's, who cherish personal freedoms and abhor this grab at power over other person's bodies, that has as much to do with enlarging the number of public union employees, have a right to speak out and to demand that the government give good reason and probable cause to commit what in any other venue would be sexual assault.

It's a wretched system and there are better systems, such as in Israel, that do not treat everyone as guilty until proven innocent.

People have a right to speak out and to protest this issue. It's also our constitutional right to try and change the law to prevent this.

I actually don't fly anymore as I have medical implants and I am going to have to submit to personal indignities every time I fly. I am getting a little tired of the 18 hour drive to N.J. to see my family which I do just to avoid the humiliation at the hands of government agents.
