TSA screening

I have to say something about this "controversy" that is heating up. First off I would like to point out that less than one year ago a man armed with an explosive device in his pants tried to take down a plane. Since then there have been other suspicious packages (no pun intended) intercepted by the TSA and other agencies.
So the screening has been stepped up, as a way of making people less uncomfortable they have full body scanners so that someone does not have to touch you if that makes you uncomfortable. A few well placed people complained about these machines, saying that the white body shaped blobs might be used as porn by pervs. So the media picked up on this story and people got all kinds of upset about it. So the TSA said that you could opt out of the scanner for a pat down, and what happened, a few well placed people threw fits. Sarah Palin has said that white people should not be subjected to scans or pat downs. Well okay, she said that TSA agents should "profile" people. I guess Sarah doesn't remember the uni bomber or Timothy McVeigh. She would have you believe that all terrorists are "dark skinned".
I have watched this unfold for the past few weeks,(no doubt Fox news has some theory on how it's Obama's secret plan to make us Muslim or something)
One thing that all of the complaining parties have in common is that they are all affluent, or have some kind of influence at work.
Now I hear on the Today show that people are verbally abusing TSA agents who are just doing a job. One I might add that could save lives.
Listen, getting a pat down is clinical touching nothing more. I would never accuse my doctor of rape after getting a pap smear.
Let's be reasonable, it is not okay to verbally berate anyone, least of all someone who is doing a job.
Enhanced security measures are a part of our lives now, deal with it, or don't fly.
