If it isn't bad enough that we as Americans have endured the loss of several liberties under the Obama administration, they are suggesting we sacrifice another and much more personal one. Full body scanning to be performed at airports which will supposedly eleminate many threats posed by terrorists.
I am all about keeping Americans safe, especially on our own soil but where does this nonsense end? Is it really necessary to body scan every potential passenger? Perhaps now is the time to put on our big kid pants and seriously discuss the benefits of profiling passengers at airports using the existing techniques. If we make a much more concentrated effort to clearly define who we should be looking for, Radical Islamic Muslim men between the ages of 19 to 45 just to throw that out there...then we should be able to screen these types of people successfully.
Obama can't keep uninvited guests out of the White House for crying out loud so I don't support full body scans at taxpayer expense to offset their ineptness when they should be profiling. Once granny passes thru normal security screenings and blows up an airplane then I guess we find alternatives to discuss. Until then expect more and demand more from those paid, appointed, and elected to protect us, as Americans we certainly deserve it.
