The airport security systems are not going anywhere but here to stay. Just get used it and don't whine. Be a sensible citizen to appreciate the work of TSA when they do good as well as criticize them if they do wrong.
For those few hardcore constitutional individuals who shout civil liberty : You don't have concern about the safety of fellow citizens and you are not going to end the system that is keeping millions safe, Learn to live with it
Will we have to get used to it and not whine when the police start kicking in our doors at 3:00 AM to check if we are doing something illegal? Will we have to get used to it and not whine when we have to stop at checkpoints and show our papers just to go buy our kids a Happy Meal?
It's a slippery slope when we give up our rights for a sense of security. The TSA is not keeping us safe, they're taking away our rights and we're letting them.
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
