I agree with Bart's 'world's a dangerous place' pronouncement, but TSA in its wisdom, as Bart has ALSO always maintained, is committed to 100% risk AVOIDANCE. Any simulacrum to the real world, which sure as hell IS a dangerous place, must be swallowed hard to get that bit of TSA logic down the throat. In my opinion, any guiltless citizen forced to stand in line and pay to get any form of strip search is already underscoring the point. Not only is this world a dangerous place, there are nasty people in it. Some want to blow you out of the sky because you are an infidel, and some want to force you to be patted down because of an 'attitude' or no cause at all.

Nasty folks all.
