I am shocked and appalled at the level of "screening" that is required to fly now, just like the rest of you are, but I am reminded of one thing, it is NOT a "Right" to fly, it is a privilege.
They are a company, just like other companies. Do I have a right to go into a restaurant and eat along side black and white and yellow and purple people? With a loud yes. Do I have a right to walk into said restaurant and ask for a salad with only iceberg lettuce? Yes. So, do they have to give me that salad? No. They can choose how they are going to conduct business and I can either agree to those terms, as they are equally applied to all persons, or I can choose to eat elsewhere.
Same thing with flying. When you buy your ticket to fly you are agreeing to their new rules and regulations. You agree to be felt up and cupped. Your assurance that it will be by "someone of the same sex" as you is your "safeguard" to not feeling like you are sexually taken advantage of. (although they don't mention if the person might be gay, or you might be gay, hmmm)
But, as I stated, it is not a right to fly. You give up right when you buy their ticket and agree.
This, my friends, is why getting a few more days of vacation and trek with your loved ones across to your destination is the way to go! There may be screaming toddlers, but you can take them out of the carseat and romp at a rest area, leisurely eat some snacks with out worrying if they had to be radiated, bring as much breast milk, in as big of a container as you want.
I get so angry when I see little kids on you tube being mishandled at a TSA screening point because the agent couldn't manage to calm the child and had to go through with the screen, and then I step back, and also get angry at the parent for placing the child in that situation. :(
We have the choice people. Make it the right one.
