Soon we'll have a definition of private parts like the tortured (haha) definition of torture that our government has asserted: a private part is an organ essential for bodily function, like lungs, the heart, liver, etc. We didn't mess with your liver so we didn't touch a private part when we gave you a body cavity search because you refused to remove your baggy sweatpants.

Many times in the past the TSA people on here have refused to support idiotic policies that the "leadership" is passing down. Why are TSA people defending the pat-downs? There is no logic behind them, they won't decrease in any meaningful way any meaningful risk, they are un-American, and they are degrading to both the perpetrator and the victim.

When criticizing these idiotic policies we (at least the vast majority of us) are not criticizing the people who are forced to carry them out, we're criticizing the policies themselves and those who created them.
