I sort of disagree on that one, but the potential is there.

100% correct.

You are blaming the workers for the policies of the bureaucrats? Hardly the best way to address the subject. Also, strip-searches are not conducted by screeners, so the dramatic effect shows way too much bias. Why woulkd you want to check cargo containers anyway? Nobody sees it, thus they cannot be impressed with how well they are being protected.

The only "freedom" loss I've encountered is the ability to carry a lot of liquids and some time going through security. Maybe I'm naive, but it seems like a pittance compared to what others have lost. Personally, I worry more about the data that private companies mine on me as opposed to the Government.
