OK, there are millions of them. So why haven't you spent the time and resources in figuring out a way to screen them that doesn't humiliate them so intrusively?
Why, as a society, are we so protective or irrational over cancer survivors and not the others?
Yeah, I can't figure out why people get upset over some woman who had her breasts surgically removed and having to deal with the physical and psychological aspects of that-- I just can't figure out why folks get upset at us for digging around in her wounded area in plain sight of other passengers. But then, that's just me.
I find the lack of a basic understanding of the laws that TSA operates under in this forum “disgusting”.
People are not disgusted because TSA lacks laws. They are disgusted because TSA lacks common sense and decency.
Anyone who would seriously equate losing such a core part of their person with having a cold is a few cards shy of a deck.
