You need to continue to be fair. That certain poster isn't against security but against feckless and needless security that takes a scattergun approach at rooting out the bad guys. The entire system has devolved into a ludicrous search of little-old-ladies with blue hair and children in wheelchairs. While pilots are allowed to bring guns into the sterile area and ultimately into the cockpit, the TSA is confiscating 2 inch plastic six-shooters and people's canes. There are so many vectors that could be used to bring down a plane that can't be stopped by molestation by the TSA, that it is insanity to continue this "security theater."

So what? The moderators also allow you to spew your contrary viewpoint as well.

By "individuals generation" I assume you're referring to those who value their privacy. Maybe you're right. The Facebook generation doesn't seem to care too much about sharing every minute detail of their personal lives, so it doesn't seem too much of a leap for them to be indifferent to having their genitals stroked by TSA agents and their backgrounds checked thoroughly at every turn. Snowden was probably a couple of decades too late when he revealed that the government is spying on everything we do. Now we have people like you who don't care, though I'm wondering why you don't post your real name here.

That paragraph was an incredible mishmash of nonsense. Congratulations, you managed to conflate at least three ideas there.
