We should be worried about the freedoms that are being given up for "anti-terror" measures. We are giving in to terrorism by allowing it to shape how we are as a society

Lets be bruitaly honest.If there is a determined group of motivated individual intent on causing harm then there is not much we can do about it. There is no way to predict were the next "terror" threat may come from. It is folly to think that we could prevent it from happening by restricting the movements of the same people the threat is being directed towards.
The whole reason the TSA exists atall is because of an unpredictable event. Putting measures in place to prevent something from happening again after it has happend is not a great strategy and that strategy is clearly having a detrimental effect on the people it is supposed to be protecting

I was around when Britain was facing real terror threats from the IRA and it was absolutely understood then, that if we allow the threat of terror to affect our way of life then the terrorists have won. That is no less true today.

Terrorism is ultimately designed to effect the minds of the people it is targeted towards. It would appear the American government have no problem furthering that agenda

But having said all that and after reading your post. I suspect my friend that you are a lost cause

come on ! you work for the TSA don't you?

which is fine , we'v all got to make a living right?

But we also have to take individual responsibility for our own behaviour. So if you are guilty of touching people up on a regular bases then... maybe you need to find another job
