You're part of the problem. You don't speak up against it when it has yet to affect you.

And when it does, it's probably too late for you to fight.

And thankfully I don't have to speak against it because here in Europe at least our governments have the decency and the humanity to see that these kind of things are uncalled for. Trust me, if anything remotely similar to the TSA patdowns was ever to be implemented over here, there would be a major public outcry and it wouldn't last long. And since I usually travel by plane at least once every year, I would also be part of that public outcry.

my skin color is brown. I'm used to bs behavior at aitport

We Americans can be pussies sometimes.

Actually, no, we're more like testicles. We're soft and vulnerable, sure, but we're also just hanging around begging to be hurt.

When did common sense become uncommon?

And how many of these sorts of stories does there need to be before a change is made?

I don't understand what the big deal is.
We all have to do it. Welcome to the 21st century where kids have been sent to kill soldiers strapped with bombs.

W dont have too. We choose too. Big difference. There are other options that do not involve this, just look at israel a country with far more terroist problems than the US and I dont hear stories of them searching 4 year olds like this.

Didn't know that America was as equal as Afghanistan or Iraq. Never head a case in which a kid was done that on US soil, nor in any other country outside those, but hey, fuck common sense right?

The point is, you never know. If we start letting people know that we don't pat down kids or oldies, we may see a bomb.

I'd prefer news like this hits and terrorists know it's not going to work.

Yeah, because that's exactly the only way for terrorists to attack. There should be a line drawn into what should be humanly acceptable to do and what isn't and this crosses that line way too much.

To defeat the terrorists you shouldn't become them because it's in that exact moment that they have won. By doing these things you're just playing exactly into what they want. You want to defeat the terrorists? Good, bolster your information networks, your surveillance networks and work inside their own cells more extensively. Don't go around pretending that every citizen in your own country is exactly the same as the ones that want to attack you. 

But hey, again, fuck common sense right?
