Could all that have been orchestrated and "set up" to justify the plans to use extreme measures?

I highly doubt these things make us any safer then the typical metal detector and bomb sniffing dogs can. In fact I think I would trust the sniffer dogs more. Lets not forget all the flight marshals now too, dont think anyones hijacking with a box cutter anymore (cant see how they did in the first place)
These scanners still dont see inside you, which is where they will hide things next, and they have already admitted the cargo on the planes doesnt get scanned very well, so next time it might just be a bomb in a bag set off by a cell phone call, so much for the scanners at that point.
I could care less if someone sees me naked or wants to feel me up, ill make it more uncomfortable for them then it will be for me, but the fact is once the government gets to take steps like this its all to hell trying to reverse it. First its the airport, then the subway, then the mall, then the movie theatre, then your workplace, then there's cameras are everywhere like in the UK, then they are in your house, and on and on and on, THATS the big deal with this.
Id rather take the slim chance of a terrorist on a plane then let big brother take over via false flags. Boss up america.edit on 23-11-2010 by A-Dub because: (no reason given)

Exactly my point enjoy your day or two or three in a cell. Hope it's worth halting someone's traveling plans, remember if it's your airport it's also theirs the people who don't care about the scanners. Although as I stated before you can act all you want like the "airports" are ours... that's laughable, they haven't been "ours" since September 11.
