Yes, but why only on airplanes then?  Why are we so worried about airplanes?  The same guy could walk into a bar and take out a lot more people if he wanted to.  My guess is that airplanes cost a lot of money and airlines or their insurance companies do not want to  have to pay for a new one.  So really, who is TSA really protecting?  Us or some insurance company?

Agreed!

They all point to 9/11...... but on 9/11 they were not blowing up planes, they were using them. Kansas City could just as easily happen again.

All you need is nut jobs and there are plenty of them around.

"Funny how the US used to be proud about standing up against that sort of thing in the world."

Let me whip out a popular response from 2004.

What's the problem if you have nothing to hide??

I honestly think this policy will last about 60 days.  When those airlines that are just about at bankruptcy realize that there is a segment of the population out there that really WON'T fly because of all of this.... they're going to raise holy hell about the procedures...(because their bottom line just dropped off)

That's when all this will end, and we'll pass the "profiling" procedures like the Israelis do now, and bomb sniffing dogs, which is what they (the TSA, not Chertoff) really wanted anyway.

In all honesty, I haven't taken one. I doubt I am the subject of the wire taps, etc., and so I never connected with the issue on a personal level. I have such a strong opinion here because I fly frequently.

"I have nothing to hide so I don't care if you check on me" is not liberty.
