Enough!

I've had it. Any frequent flier knows that the security measures at the airports will not deter terrorism. I'm tired of having my personal items touched and rearranged and held up for everyone in the area to see. Not that I have anything interesting in there...but it's the idea of it! Yes, I DO mind if you touch me! Yes, I DO mind removing my shoes while they "run them through again." Really, isn't this all illegal? Don't we have a constitutional right not to be searched unless there's probable cause? I'm a white woman in my 40's...where's the probable cause? I'm platinum so obviously I've been flying a lot and haven't terrorized anyone yet! I'm just sick of it all. I've crossed the line! The only one hurt by this will be Continental because I practically can't stand it anymore! I want to be safe; I want my friends and family to be safe in the air, too. But these airline security efforts won't stop some nut case with an agenda. And they're trouncing on our civil rights. Does anyone know where I can find a group to throw join to protest this blatent disregard for our constitutional rights?
