the answer is, there are bad guys and we have to keep people safe.

But the reality is, the methods are not the most effective/effecient.

already answered bro. you must have missed it.

regular metal detectors, dogs, and other "sniffer" devices.

wands etc. and a review of Isreali screening proceedures. they do it very well over there and dont gab peoples junk or look at their nekkidity.

You are aware that those methods aren't as effective and they're more expensive right?

Sandie... sometimes the TSA can't release information that they have. It would alert various terrorist groups as to what tactics we're looking out for... it would also endanger various intelligence sources.

This can be a very complicated issue. Remember, the people on the ground who are reporting the methods terrorists are considering could be compromised. They are risking their lives to help us, do we endanger them because someone is upset about getting a mere patt down?

You had me until the use of the word "mere".

THAT is part of the problem the average citizen who wants to travel via air has with this whole situation.
Our concerns are not validated, so we fear they'll never be addressed.
We're just a bunch of whinny cry babies ignorant of the real world.

My point is that a patt down is just a mere patt down compared to an agent or informant loosing their lives. I guess they don't matter?

This is getting silly.

It's not a "mere" pat down, this is new to a free people. The choices are being looked at in the nude or having a total stranger touch you in places nobody has the right to do so.
Then to suggest that I or anyone else would rather seen someone else lose their lives so we can be more informed is insulting.
