I guess the question is then when, as a society, do we finally say "Enough!"? When the TSA starts performing random or even targeted cavity searches? How about full body x-rays? TSA pumpers love to scuff at the idea of such intrusive and dangerous methods, but just think off how far we've come in three years. Imagine three years ago asking someone on the street if they though it would be OK for the TSA to grab their breasts or testicles, or for them to see their 13 year old daughter naked. Most people would have been outraged at the thought, yet these things are almost gleefully accepted every day now. Australia has already install the full body x-ray devices. I'm sure the US will follow soon enough. At first they'll claim it is only for suspected drug mulls, but soon anyone will be subject to random screening.
