I'm going to guess you're not from the U.S.

Then please explain why the extra security measures taken in the U.S. are complete failures -- TSA has yet to stop, much less, catch a terrorist, or prevent bombs from being brought on board American airlines.

Also, please show me where in the Constitution is the authorization for the government to usurp powers denied to it in the interest of security.

I may not like being scanned but it beats having hundreds of lives lost.
Being scanned won't prevent a terrorist from blowing up a plane.

I have the right to feel secure on an airplane.
No, you do not. There is no such right under U.S. law.

Until there is universal peace you'll have to suck it up buddy.
Not in the U.S., we don't.

If you're not American, I'll excuse your lack of understanding of the constitutional limits on government power in the U.S. If you are, you need a high school civics remedial class.
