I have a simple question that, to the best of my knowledge, has not been asked of the TSA:

If the enhanced pat-downs are necessary following the "Christmas underwear bomber", and they are not punitive, why did the TSA wait until the Nude-o-Scopes were available before the enhanced pat-downs were impemented?


It seems to me that if what the TSA is saying is true, then they have purposefully kept us unsafe for the past 10 months. There is no technology required for the enhanced pat-down. Instead, they deployed these enhanced pat-downs at the same time as the Nude-o-Scopes, which can only lead to the conclusion that they are simply punitive.
