Or protest to your Congressman about these overly invasive searches that trample civil liberties. Stand up for yourself or be cattle. Yesm Mr. Pretend Cop you sures knows what is best for me. I do whatever you wants me to mistah.

In other news, TSA screeners are just as poorly and inconsistently trained as you think:

If you give up, the terrorists win. Think of the children!

No the terrorists are winning now. We are flushing down the toilet foundational pieces of our society in the name of pseudo-safety for an industry that is already among the safest ways to travel. Never mind that the infamous "underwear bomber" boarded the plane outside the US. Never mind that neither the scanners nor the pat downs can detect items hidden inside body cavities.

A good read: http://noblasters.com/post/1650102322/my-tsa-encounter

A good video starring Adam Savage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3yaqq9Jjb4

Quote:
* You may opt out of the AIT screening,
but you will be given the new standard pat-down, described above, instead.

You have the right to request that the standard pat-down be conducted in private
and you may have someone accompany you.
It is your right to be screened by an officer of the same gender.

* If you are selected for secondary screening because of an alarm or an anomaly in an AIT,
you may receive an even more thorough resolution pat-down than the new standard pat-down.
This resolution pat-down should only be done by a trained supervisor or lead officer
of the same gender in a private screening area.

* If you are selected for secondary screening because of a bulky clothing item,
you will receive the new standard pat-down by an officer of the same gender.
You may remind the officer to only pat-down the area in question.
