Flying

I'm tired of hearing about the "violations of privacy" issues with the new body scanner/pat down security procedures. Either we can have privacy or security, or some of each. But we can't have 100% privacy and 100% security.

Are we really Ok saying that only people who look "suspicious" should be checked? Who do we trust to decide who is "suspicious"? We have seen in drug trafficking that innocent and innocent-looking people have been used by the smugglers for years. Why wouldn't the same become true with terrorism?

Every year we see more "home grown" terrorists. What happens when they start to look like your next door neighbor or your brother? Who do we deem clever and observant enough to know which person should have the privacy violated and who shouldn't have to put up with it?

I know there are dozens or hundreds of other arguments on either side, including whether anyone has the "right" to fly in the first place. But I am just tired of the constant whining and bickering.
