Of course, you know your options are loaded. I don't have to tell you that.
So, I'll change them to suit myself. ;-)
Metal detector....everybody.
X-Ray of all carry-ons....everybody.
Additional screening based upon profiling:
Full body scan or --
A pat down as done by police officers when searching for weapons, sans the cavity search.
How are my options loaded? Are you saying those things are false? Are you saying the full body scans are not virutal strip searches and that you are not being subjected to radiation? Are you saying the pat downs are not invasive? Or do you just want more politically correct language to justify those things?
I'd like the emotion taken out of them, JamesRage. I'm not going to argue sematics with you. Disregard what I said. You have my answer.
Just because I know I'm innocent does not mean that someone who has never met me before knows 100% that I am innocent. The last time I was at the airport a TSA officer asked me to step aside to further search my bag, and I thought nothing of it. I'm happy he was doing his job. As for pat downs, I'm not one to be super sensitive about a professional person just doing their job. I wouldn't object to a pat down from a police officer to prove I'm no danger, and I would not object to a TSA officer either. And the same thing goes for the "virtually strip searched machines".
What's the big freaking deal? Are people that sensitive about others seeing their silver parts? I can understand some people having religious complaints, but otherwise I just don't get why people are so sensitive about their anonymous silver junk being seen on a TV screen for 15-20 seconds by a professional TSA officer.
Today its just virtual strip searches tomorrow it could be the real thing, random cavity searches and this being implemented in Bus stations,highways and other places. You may love the idea of getting people used to their rights being forked over and living in a police state, I do not.
So you wouldn't mind if it was your 13 year old daughter(I believe 12 and under are not subjected to the virtual strip searches), niece or little sister's silver anonymous silver junk being seen on a TV screen for 15-20 seconds by a professional TSA officer.

Wasn't the last hijacking of an El Al aircraft the one back in 1976?The El Al airport procedures and in-flight safeguards work for me.
In addition, all El Al passenger aircraft are equipped with an anti-missile system.
as long as I get from point A to point B without being blown up or becoming a hostage... how far would you like be to bend over?
Metal detectors, scanning luggage, non-invasive pat downs are all ok. Anything else is just overreaction and won't significantly increase any "security" concern.

We had more than enough searching of passengers twenty years ago. Those who are truly dedicated to smuggling things can and always will succeed, and the common idiot is deterred from trying. For those who cite 9/11 as a good reason to expand airport security, the honest truth is that it won't happen again. And it has nothing to do with security. If faced with a hijacker armed with a box cutter, passengers will not longer sit by and wait to be ransomed. They will fight back violently. Simply locking the door to the cockpit and making passengers aware that they need to fight back is all the expanded security we need.
We can't catch every possible person who may not be wanted on an airplane, and attempting to do so grossly infringes on our privacy and our freedoms. All of the fear mongering doesn't help us live safer lives. It just makes us more easily pressured to give up even more rights. Nor should we be singling out Arab-looking people to mess with. Most people are innocent, regardless of skin color or religion. Most terrorist acts in the US were committed by white Americans, not foreigners.
