OK to answer all three of you at once, if you walk through the machine then nobody gets felt up do they?
secondly its a same sex search, your not going to have men feeling up women in a pat search, it will be women. that is currently the law for all forms of body search and i don't see it changing now.
our women being violated????????????????????? violated????? really???? are they being penetrated???? are they being forced to stand in front of a bunch of people ogling them and touching themselves in inappropriate fashions? oh my god how pathetic and self righteous can a woman be???? she gets searched like everyone else. we live in a nation of pathetically lazy and self righteous people, but they also have a right to be kept as safe as possible.
those of you that believe that luggage goes unscanned really need to do your home work before you speak. nothing gets loaded that isn't cleared, and because its luggage not living it gets scanned much more efficiently. here try starting here

greens before you talk about what a white man would or wouldn't do in the name of god read your christian history. we are not innocent of our atrocities or our fanatics. do you know that many many whites are muslems? racial profiling doesnt work, safety measures to prevent acts of violence help but even those are inevitably defeatable. so they must change with the times.
so tec because i want my family not to die by the hands of a fanatic when it is easily preventable then that means i am a paranoid who wants to live in a bomb shelter? you take reasonable preventative measures to extreme retarded thought and arguments. i have historical support for my paranoia, your argument has nothing behind it but the bodies of those who have died because of people who win arguments the way you just presented your case. i suppose you think its outrageous that states are adopting laws that require children to wear protective head gear when riding their bikes skateboards ect. i further suppose that you think it is completely unreasonable that people shouldn't be allowed to drink and drive, hey they know when they have had enough......right?
there is a difference between reasonable safety and fanatical paranoia. don't confuse what i am saying to be anything more than what it is, reasonable measures to ensure the safety of others.
