I am concerned about the new Transport Security Administration (TSA) processes implemented last week. Either I have to enter a screener that basically strip searches me or have an extensive grope session in front of fellow uncomfortable passengers. Hmmm. This is not only degrading but can it be questioned whether my rights are in jeopardy?
I have chosen to fly and therefore am subject to those terms and conditions which includes extreme tactics to maintain safety. I am all for safety but how much will this aid the process versus just take additional time to get through the gate and appear to improve safety. Is my body meant to be private? I wonder why we are not yet flying nude (though crevices will still remain a problem). Why maintain personal privacy and modesty if a government agency can require you share it with these hired officials? If I went however to check into my flight while naked, I would be arrested. This is a hypocritical policy that I doubt will largely deter those who want to compromise flight safety.
I want to continue but I have to work...
