Most of my reaction to this has been as a woman and more importantly, a mother. I don't personally want to be intrusively searched OR scanned, and I most certainly don't want my children searched, groped or scanned. The only people who have ever touched me in certain areas are my mother, my doctors and my husband. I'd prefer to keep it that way, and I don't care to have my children's boundaries crossed either. I'm not alone in those feelings, and the sentiment carries more weight when I reflect on my rights as an American, rights I share with people who are myriad of colors. |
Saying something hasn't been proven effective indicates you are aware of research to the contrary. No?
As the hair splitting continues.... *could trailer for Dan's site*
