Detecting metallic objects isn't really a violation of privacy. Neither is seeing an X-ray image of mundane baggage. This is your body, we're talking about. And I'm not aware of any previous policy that allowed TSA to cop a feel with such gratuitous abandon.

When "terrorists" and other boogeymen reach the airport with all their destructive goodies, our security apparatus has already failed.

And I'm not aware of any previous policy that allowed TSA to cop a feel with such gratuitous abandon. Personally, I'd rather have someone see a black and white outline of my naked body than look through my luggage - the former has no meaning or value, the second is actually private. What you consider "mundane," I consider personal. > When "terrorists" and other boogeymen reach the airport with all their destructive goodies, our security apparatus has already failed. So - no wiretaps, no racial profiling, no country profiling, no searches, no detainment, no internet monitoring - I suppose we use love and psychic powers?
