do you agree with the new TSA security measures?

If it were something as rediculous as if you had to submit to a body scan  to shop at Wal-Mart, I would agree, that's rediculous and not needed but when you fly, you're flying on something that can easily become an extremely dangerous weapon.

If I have to choose between being that much safer or you having to deal with body issues, I'm going to choose being that much safer every time.

Luckily boats and buses while they could be dangerous (OMG Speed!) aren't nearly as dangerous as planes and I agree, putting a full body scanner on a bus would be stupid.  That simply isn't needed and there are better ways to be secure.  For planes though, with people actively trying to turn them into massive weapons, we have to do something.

Take a bus, and pile it with explosives. Slam it into the local stadium during the next NFL game. I promise you that it will result in a higher casualty rate. Hell carry on a bomb in a suitcase. Wait to get to the scanner, throw it into the middle of the room and BIG BADA BOOM! The threat from air based terrorism is extremely over-blown.
