Why do you believe the TSA wants to have control over your every movement and what's in it for them?
Do they profit somehow by this?
I appreciate your argument and i'm not saying your anymore wrong than I may be but you seem to be leaving out an important piece of the puzzle.
What interest do they have in doing this?
According to the TSA's current explanations, there are no limits to its power. It can do whatever it wants. But America's founding fathers, not surprisingly, strongly disagreed. In fact, they penned two documents that specifically defined strict limits to government power. Those two documents are, of course, the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

We will have to agree to disagree. Your arguments are based in fear and mine are based in a belief that Freedom trumps all other concerns.
It is true that with no security at the airports other than metal detectors, flying would still be one of the safest activities you engage in in your life. Fear is such an easy tool to use to control people that it is almost impossible to stop. Only when you fear them more, and you will soon, will you understand just how much you so willingly give up.

Good point but as I stated earlier, there is no proof of this and they are just theories. I do not believe people should base their judgement on things based on theories but rather on actual facts.
Facts are that there are more incidents of terror acts than in the past and the facts are that our current system had many holes in it.
If there is a fox in your hen house you kill the fox. If there are many foxes about and you can't be sure if you can get them all you build a better hen house.
That's all they are trying to do. In regards to the groping thing i'm sure that happens but i'm also sure that out of the thousands of employees it's a small percentage.
Pat downs are just that ... pat downs...not easy to do without touching someone. I find it hard to believe that every tsa agent finds enjoyment in this act and that's a very generalized statement.

Not often these days we get to have good debate without it turning into a brawl.
