"Many frequent fliers would like to pass through security without secondary screening. Security has become one of the biggest deterrents for increased traveling, travelers say. To avoid security hassles, a growing number of frequent fliers has begun taking Amtrak or driving on shorter trips.

Penn State University recruiter Evelynn Ellis said she is most concerned about the TSA's plan to identify travelers for additional screening based -- in part -- on a passenger's attire.

"What a riot: I can take my little scissors now, but I'm searched because I am dressed weird that day," she said. "I don't think any of this will make us a bit safer."

"Most passengers loathe the pat-downs, women especially. Last year, you might remember, there was a rebellion by a sizable number of female travelers claiming that they were being humiliated and even sexually groped at the checkpoints. In response, the T.S.A. cracked down on the more aggressive patters-down and complaints fell off.

But under the new policy, the pat-down will become more intimate - from toe to neck. Avoiding one requires the luck of the draw, not the skill of strategy. Furthermore, screeners themselves will be able to decide at the checkpoint who gets the treatment. As before, only female screeners will pat down women and girls and male screeners will pat down men and boys."

You're a real dog turd, Comrade Kip.
