Airport search tactics should alarm Americans

The constitutional illegality of the state forcing American citizens to endure sexual assault to board a plane should alarm normal citizens.

Are you willing to hand over your body and your children's to the government? Do you really believe this degrading procedure will keep you safe? Do you believe everything the state tells you? Do you take on a noble air and sigh, well, if it prevents just one crash, it's worth it? Well, then, you must be a liberal.

I don't approve of pornographic X-rays and high radiation either. Where is the American Civil Liberties Union?
