Due to the new rules by the TSA regarding pat-downs, we're going to have to teach our kids:
"No one is allowed to touch your private area/parts except for mommy, daddy, our family doctor, and some random TSA worker."
Can we all step back, take a deep breath, and admit how ridiculous that statement sounds? I realize that flying is not a right. It is a privilege and that we have to follow the rules if we want to fly. But at what cost?
If one wants security, one has to give up some rights. But when is it too much? Have we crossed the line? We can't base security off of "profiling", but we're fine with having some random stranger (who could be a sex offender or other criminal as I have no confidence in the TSA's hiring/screening abilities) pat down our privates? Really?
Honestly, my dog is probably better at security than most TSA screeners/workers.
