In principle I understand the need for full body scans and highly personal searches, but I think this has gone too far. What happened to chemical swab tests? Aren't these effective? I've had my stuff swabbed at least a dozen times [I was often carrying a lot of test equipment that demanded a closer look].
An interesting point was made about the polling of this issue. It doesn't mean anything to poll the general public. What matters is what frequent flyers think - the people being groped and exposed. It's no wonder that people who don't generally fly don't have a problem with this.
I have to agree with Bob Barr on this one [a scary thought in itself]. I want to see Michelle Obama and the kids go through this public humiliation.
