Yes even NTs are struggling with this too. I keep hearing about it at babycenter and some of them also don't like it and some are okay with it because they understand.

I'm guessing that Greyhound are going to laughing all the way to the bank soon.

The people on that website are scary (I read the comments section).

1) This new TSA stuff is insane. Other countries (like Isreal) have had to deal with terrorism more so and longer than the USA, and they haven't resorted to groping & "porno scanners."

2) The left side picture at the top of that article is priceless.

I've heard about this from here in the UK. We don't have anything quite as bad, or at least I've never been in an airport that is quite so nasty to people, but flying is a bloody nightmare these days. For that reason I will only fly from selected airports because they are too unpleasant with paying passengers.

If I was a terrorist I would just shrug my shoulders and blow up a bus or a church or a shopping mall because it would be so much easier.

So what is next? Will you have to have your breasts and crotch squeezed to get into church or school or an office building?

Driving to work will your car be stopped searched at a checkpoint every three blocks?

Remember, Bush said that the terrorists hate us for our "freedom".

Well they can quit now because not even the Gestapo or the KGB went around squeezing the crotch of three year old girls in case they might be "terrorists".

I personally think this is getting to the point of being ridiculous. I understand we have to security to not to have dangerous people on planes and the people generally agree with this, but how much of our dignity has to be sacrificed for that?
I didn't want to bother with flying anymore with the security measures after 9/11 and now they just keep upping the ante every few years.

This is like highway patrol pulling over every tenth car to make sure they have a valid driver's license and don't have explosives in the trunk.
I think it's best to fall back on the 4th Amendment with this one.

Who knows? Perhaps next year they will squeeze your breasts or grab your nuts before you get on a bus or get into a theater.

Think of the delays when everyone has to drop their pants for a rubber-glove body cavity search before being let into school.

Tough luck for girls because they have more cavities to be searched.

Do you think I'm kidding? I am not.

What do you think George Washington would do if the Redcoats demanded to squeeze his wife's breasts and grab her crotch before she could get onto a ship?

I have a family member that does business trips to Middle East and Asia. Traveling from the US to these countries is always hectic. But he says coming back to US is so simple. No full body scan or pat downs anywhere where he goes, but only in the US. He finds it so stupid. I definitely don't want TSA to be groping my 90 year old grandmother. I definitely don't want TSA to be groping my 5 year old disabled cousin.
