Reply #15: The new procedures are an illogical show of force against most Americans. [View All]

[End Of The Road]

99.99% of American air travelers have no intent to do harm to the airplane or its passengers (aside from encroaching on my miniscule seat space). The TSA is well aware of this. But who are they pulling out of line? Stories have included pilots, flight attendants, children, elderly, and some with medical conditions whose explanations and cautions have been ignored by the TSA groper.

This does nothing to protect the safety of travelers. It's all for show -- and it's a very authoritarian show. I've been patted down and wanded and searched before these new procedures took effect, and I was OK with it, but the enhanced patdowns will not be more effective, and I've got to draw the line somewhere. This is where I draw it.
