Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Well being subjected to excessive searches at an airport is not the same as having your President illegally take away your Constitutional protections. You have a choice to go into the airport, you don't have a choice if the President suspends habeas corpus illegally.
Dude, you are using the word excessive improperly. If you have gone through security at any time after 9/11 you have implicitly agreed to at least a strip search. Just because it hasn't happened to you, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
To me, if the option is strip search or walk through a scanner that will render me naked. I'm taking the scanner. I hate the delay of even taking my shoes off let alone taking all my clothes off. The people looking at the scanner will be so jaded after their first shift, your nudity will hardly matter to them. Unless you have two dicks they'll be immune to whatever they see.
My point is you are subject to a more excessive and invasive search now. This would actually be an improvement in both security and invasiveness of proposed searching.
That's not the option though. The option, for now, is metal detector or scanner. If they find something suspicious in the scanner they're still going to strip search you, the same way they would if the metal detector continually goes off. It's an undue invasion of privacy on a massive scale, and I certainly won't be taking part in it if it becomes mandatory in all airlines.
Saying it is undue or excessive is conclusory. What level of searching do you think is appropriate?
