Fear overriding reason with airport scanners

There is a lack of interest in the pattern airline body scans and so called pat downs. Why have we become so submissive? Fear overrides reason.

The totality of travelers just want to travel. Why or how ought we submit to such a degrading situation? The supposed alternative is to walk, stay at home, bicycle or simply fume.

I support dignity and respect and, please, let go of the incredibly incorrect notion that all of us are enemies.
