I haven't done anything that merits treating me like a criminal simply because I want to get on a plane. Screen me simply, quickly, and effectively. If I alarm on something, by all means resolve it. However, TSA isn't entitled to know more about me than I'm not carrying anything at the time that will harm a plane. No one should have to open their lives to that degree to avoid harassment.

I don't have anything to hide, but it doesn't mean that what I'm doing, where I'm going, and who I'm seeing for how how long is any of the government's damn business either. @:-) Their only business is answering the question of if I have any WEI that could harm a plane. No? Then have a nice flight.

It's not a hard concept, but unfortunately, our government has lost sight of the constitution and respecting the privacy of a free people.

If they think I'm a threat, then build a case against me, arrest me, and get me before a judge. If they can't do that, then leave me the hell alone.
