If you've been to the airport recently, you'll have noticed many new changes to the system of security. The Transportation Security Administration along with the Department of Homeland Security has really "stepped up" their efforts to search passengers.
The use of intensive "pat downs" and naked body-scanners is become the norm in the realm of airport security. Many Americans, myself being one of them, feel that this type of excessive force used to search passengers is unreasonable and violates our right to privacy. Is it really a necessary step for the government to use expensive radiation-based machinery and grotesque pat downs of children by adults to add to our levels of security? Many lawmakers and media pundits are voicing their opinion loud and clear. What do you think?
