Thanks for participating in the discussion anyway. Stepping back a bit, I can imagine how you would feel that way.

Please consider where some of the rest of us are coming from: About four or five years ago, I started flying without presenting documentation of my identity ("showing ID") on principle. I don't think we should have to identify ourselves to our government and wait for permission to travel from one state to another, so I don't want to go along with doing so. I'm certain that if, at that time, I had told people, "Hey, in just a few years, in order to get on a plane, we'll have to let airport security guards use machines to look through our clothing at our naked bodies, and if we decline the virtual strip search, we'll be subjected to police-style body searches in which they'll lift our breasts and feel our scrotums -- sometimes in private rooms with our shirts off and pants pulled down," people would have told me I was out of my mind. Yet just a few years later, that's exactly what's happening.

TSA are on a path of increasingly-lawless behavior. They are way over the top.
