In this thread I will give a few scenarios to put the title into perspective.
The increased security at the airport and the new X Ray scanners, have brought some really important questions to my mind and I feel that I need to share them.
Since when is it ok for a stranger to physically put their hands on a child's genitals?
Does this not go against everything we teach them?
What will the ramification be?
Scenario 1: This violation of our rights does not change and years down the road a child is molested by a teacher or custodian claiming they are searching the child for drugs, or weapons. The child says nothing because the teacher reminds them that this sort of thing happens at the airport and it is ok there too right?
Scenario 2: TSA worker: closet pedophile gets his/her jolly's off at work.
When is enough, enough?
Anyone being "pat down" in an airport is being violated by "Weird Uncle Sam", and people are just turning their heads like they did 40 years ago when it was just "Weird Uncle Dan."

Well who would answer that with a yes?
