Airline passengers can expect to see as well as feel new pat-down procedures at U.S. airports over the coming weeks in an effort to provide another layer of security for travelers, the Transportation Security Administration said Thursday.

 

"Pat-downs are one important tool to help TSA detect hidden and dangerous items such as explosives," according to a TSA statement sent to CNN.

Bring it on....here baby, jes you pat this rat cheer. ;)

 

I'm okay with it, no problem at all.

 

Heck, I've been detained an hour and a half by Customs at POE (and no, my underwired bra wasn't the reason, there was no reason), this will be nothing. :lol: Shucks, I wouldn't care if they made us strip and bend over, just to get on a plane. It's America baby, they're's bad guys out there, I tells ya. :)

Pretty soon they will ask people for a blood sample to get through security. Just disguise yourself as cargo and you won't have to worry about security.

I was joking with the guys at work.

Suppose, I (a male) wore a kilt, with no undies .. you think those guys would STILL do as good a search?

Personally, I don't give a flyin' F if I get nude scanned, but daughters 13 & 15 ..... seems fundamentally wrong, an early, and unnecessary assault on their innocence (and yeah, I'm not a Papa with his head in the sand----the most important things in their lives are still sports, and they don't have missing time in their days...) So any others here see a totally over the top invasion of privacy??

 

... (and btw, the pilots hate it----(including my best friend) seems they have a much greater % of dying if the bomb comes on board in the underwear (several hundred flight boardings s a year)--- (like they can't figure out to put the bomb IN the body cavity. Pilots know full well the true weak link in the system is air freight----and the handlers making near minimum wage who are happy (and its very well documented) to place a package in a cargo hold for a 'fee'..

I agree with Don and Carl that it is more BS (kinda of like being told you can't sit on the steps of a Federal Courthouse because it is "private property"). What I like to know is what are Americans going to do about it? Just business as usual I guess:
