I agree that it's a shame that searches have come to this. Especially pat downs on children. However, I didn't see any "groping" done at all. simple patting. If you don't like it, don't fly.
Lets be honest with ourselves here. The moment that children don't have to go through the same security measures that adults do, they will be the ones with explosives in their cavities. Children have been used in other places of the world as weapons, they won't be an exception here. Why open that pathway to welcome it sooner?edit on 21-11-2010 by asianeko because: grammar correction

I'm 43 years old and my dad is about 76 and we've both lived in America our whole lives and no child has ever killed us with a bomb yet. I don't know anyone that's ever been killed by a child bomb either for that matter.
According to military intelligence sources there are about 12 children being routinely used in the Sangin area just to plant bombs. The Taliban have resorted to the tactic because they know that British troops are unlikely to fire on children planting IEDs (improvised explosive devices). They have also been forced into the change because sophisticated surveillance technology is able to pick up Taliban IED planting teams and take action against them.

I can just see it now, a woman having to remove a tampon to prove it isn't housing a bomb!!! OMG! OMG! If this trend continues, that could possibly happen.

All you did is deny...
PROVE that your rights are being broken. I just explained with logic why your rights are NOT being broken, and all you do is deny it with no logic at all. Just once sentence.
How on Earth can your rights be broken when nobody is forcing you to be searched? No body is forcing you to fly?

From a conspiratorial angle, I believe the TSA intentionally hires the dregs of society exclusely since outside they are the lowest level of society. Inside the control point a massive 180 happens...
The PTB get a 2 fer, not paying welfare and mental hospital costs; and keeping a good stock of "doll of care" sacrificial offerings.
