Like 99% of safety guidelines, its not perfect, but without it, s--t would be much more dangerous.

People have only started to complain since 9/11.
Yes there have been pat downs for a long time, but the "aggressive" pat downs started in recent years due to the need.
I've been pat down at the Detroit Airport and San Francisco Airport, I have no problems with it, its uncomfortable, but safety usually isnt comfortable (some examples? Condoms, Seat Belts, Vaccinations, anything that is fun that you need safety equipment for)
...sexually assaults...

Oh...wow. Now I can join you in your insane paranoia. What can we do to stop this?! It's against my freedom to receive a pat down if I'm just trying to get inside the mall to buy my novelty hats and edible underwear!

Why are we patting down 40-50 year old Caucasian women?
How many hostage attempts have been committed by 40-50 year old Caucasian women?
How many 40-50 year old Caucasian women were involved in 9/11?
How many incidents in total have been committed by 40-50 year old Caucasian white women in the history of air travel?

Sorry, I realize I am not bowing to worship the golden calf of PCanity, but can my questions be answered?
Thanks in advance.
