Nice wiggle but you didn't answer. Besides concluding this is excessive, what level of search is ok for all members of the flying public to go through?
How can I make a decision for the entire public? I clearly can't even make this decision for this message board. For me, personally, I'm willing to put my bags through their scanners and go through the metal detectors. If they feel they need to pat me down I'd be annoyed but I wouldn't make a scene or anything like that. If they start asking me to remove clothes then we have a problem.
However, if you have no problem going through this scanner then it doesn't effect me in the least.
Let me ask you this
Guy in front of you goes through the scanner....it beeps
do it again
it beeps
they ask the guy to follow them to a private room to strip search him
he makes a huge scene, doesnt want to do it.
They let him through because of it.....do you want that guy on your plane?
This situation rests on the faulty assumption that I am in line at an airport getting ready to go through this scanner. It also rests on the far more faulty assumption that they'd let this guy get on the plane simply because he throws a fit.
