It's not for our protection. It's to make us feel like they're doing something, which they are: they're taking your civil liberties. What if I'm not really a fat man? Maybe it's all make up and I've got a bomb. You let the thin edge of the wedge in, and you'll lose your freedoms next. The terrorists won. I wish people would realize that, when they give up the very freedoms the terrorists were against, in the name of "protection", that they've given in.
