Anyone you look at it, that is one buck nekkid person. The only people who get to see me that way either went through medical school and I allow them to do so, or had to put a wedding ring on my finger. As for the "enhanced pat downs" (nothing is enhanced for me) that's not too far off high school groping. My DH has kindly offered to pat me down for the TSA agent, but I told him I didn't think they'd go for that.
I'm P.O.d enough about being stuck with either the naked body scanner or being felt up. But I *&%^ sure do not want anyone's hands on my little girl. Period. I bought tickets for our upcoming Thanksgiving trip before the pat downs changed. We had already decided to drive to WDW for Christmas. In the past, I have loved flying and despised driving. But now, not only has all the fun been sucked out of flying, they've made it an assault on my dignity and a potentially traumatizing event for my child. At her age, if I'd had to undergo that pat down, it would have upset me. And if I'd known someone had been seeing me essentially naked.....I'd have croaked.
All to be "safe"? How many terrorists have they caught? Puh-leeze! Look at us, for God's sake. Let us undergo some kind of security check ahead of time. The FBI had already checked us to death multiple times. Instead of terrorizing grannies at the airport, use your noodle and zero in one someone who actually poses a threat. It offends me as an American to be virtually strip searched when there is NO reason to suspect I have done one thing wrong.
People whine, "You don't have to fly." Well, they don't have to go the measures they do either. So I will slow down, or even stop my flying. I'll use up my FF miles on a few big trips and be done with it. I'm done with their illogical power trip. We, the American public, are the ones being treated like terrorists and I am sick to death of it. What's next? I'm afraid to even think about it.
