[QUOTE="deja, post: 1374823, member: 13072"] This is both an absurd, and a very dangerous attitude. Is this your response as well to the wiretapping fiasco? "If you don't like it, don't talk on the phone; meet in person". Given Napolitano's discussion of the same screening at subways and bus stations, a sane person might question what they DON'T want to grope you for? Keep in mind: most people's property is ringed by publicly owned roads. Most of us can't go much of anywhere without crossing a public road. Would it be justifiable, and understandable, for our ever-more-invasive government to say "well, you can't get on public roads without a thorough, invasive, and humiliating search of both your vehicle and your person"? After all, if you don't like it, don't use public roads. Right? That sound logical? (hint: it's the same logic we're using to justify invading passengers at this very moment) [/QUOTE]
