A physical pat down of every passenger would make us all safer. I think this is going a bit far, but I do believe that physical searches help security.
The fact that TSA red teams were able to sneak weapons past TSA checkpoints in New Jersey last year only cements the fact that TSA is not able to find every weapon....
Whereas, asking for my ID doesn't make me safer - it's just a violation of my rights.
Of course, with the current security protocols at airports, SSSS passengers are often bumped to the front of the security line - so that opting for the pat down can get me through security faster...
Am I willing to get groped in order to avoid waiting in line for 10 minutes? Probably

Makes no sense to me.
