Mr Self Destruct says it more eloquently than I would be able. Thanks!
Look, if you put so much value on your civil liberties that you can't even do a simple pat down before entering the plane, then don't fly. Smooth: If you plan on making a ruckus, I say feel free to do so. In fact, do it at the airport and see what happens.
What gets me is the fact that we don't have all the answers. Some of you complain about how we are handling things post 9/11, yet none of you are providing alternative solutions for how we can better protect ourselves. Our government, as well as private corporations, have enacted "knee-jerk" solutions to provide as much immediate safety as they could with the given circumstances. If terrorists thought that they could use our airlines as WMD's again, then what makes you think they won't try it again if we don't secure our airlines? Remember the dude with the shoe bomb?
Simply put, if you don't like the way things are run, don't participate and don't bitch about it if you are not prepared to offer alternative solutions.
