This sacrifice will, in fact, make us safer.<br /><br />A) previous attempts at terrorism have included many methods of smuggling that are not detected by enhanced patdowns (rectal insertions for example).<br />B) Blanket approaches like this will trip up the dedicated and trained person attempting to smuggle bombs or other bad stuff.<br />C) Installing these in only US airports (and not even a majority of those) will deter terrorists and make us safer.<br />D) There are no less invasive sacrifices that may be more effective to use. <br /><br />Not to mention the groping/photos of children (aren't there child-porn laws?), the reactionary responses of the TSA, and the assurance that same-sex patdowns are somehow a mitigating factor.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056314139651782511noreply@blogger.com
