Amazing! People bitch about being a little inconvenienced before boarding a plane but not a word is mentioned about other things that have intruded on our rights. No one seems to care that the government can accuse you of being a drug dealer and confiscate your property, just don't touch my boobies at the airport. You think you own your home? Don't pay taxes on it for a year or two and see who really owns your home, but let's bitch about my boobies being touched in a non-sexual way. Think of all the personal rights you have lost thanks to the Patriot Act and there's no huge public outcry as long as we don't get frisked boarding a plane. A search warrant isn't needed anymore to search your vehicle thanks to the failed war on drugs, but we ain't touchin' boobies and balls in the airport screening line anymore so who cares. Police checkpoints are legal in just about every state to "prevent drunk driving" and where's the public outcry? If you happen to be accused of something your innocent of but in the course of you being arrested you accidently or intentionally kill a police dog you will be charged with murder just as if that dog was human. WTF? That's just to name a few of the intrusions we face daily, however, the list goes on and on. Folks there is far more serious intrusions into your personal life and space than getting frisked in line at the airport. If this was one step in the journey to return this country to the way it was intended then it would be something to celebrate.
