Americans who drive trucks and perform surgery and have little six year old daughters aren't safe to travel by air unless we have something in place. It may not be the best something, but we can't just read and hear what commentators have to say, we have to think for ourselves.
It isn't as bad as it could be. It isn't as good as it could be. Neither is cancer treatment, but we can't just not do something. I really do NOT think that woman who was giving that child a physical search was at ALL sexually motivated. I think she could have been showing her authority or she had her orders wrong. OR maybe they do searches like that sporadically to show that searches like that are done...
It isn't right and it isn't pretty.

I agree, Gracie. Personally, I think there should be more profiling. Focus less on the little old ladies in the wheelchair and the wee little ones......and look for those who may "fit the picture". My hairdresser is from Lebanon.... and he and his wife have said how much safer they feel when THEY are pulled over to be searched by the TSA........because they look like they may be from a part of the world where there are American haters. I realize that these wacko terrorists may be using little old ladies and children in the future for their sick attacks......but MORE focus should be be put on profiling....IMHO.
