IMO This is silly. Yeah I understand why we don't want the NSA looking into all our emails and phonecalls etc...
But its a security check at an airport... This has to be one of the silliest things to get wound up about.

If you don't think it's possible New York has been racially profiling people and searching them without cause, in a program called 'Stop and Frisk'.

This isn't about Air Ports, this is about citizens and constitutional rights, rights that our government has taken an oath to uphold before anything else.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office,
he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:
— “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will
faithfully execute the Office of President of the
United States, and will to the best of my Ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States.”No, it isn't. When you're in a back room with your clothes on the floor, being asked to lift your scrotum and spread your butt cheeks, you're being strip searched.
The MM machines are annoying, invasive and potentially harmful, but saying it's analogous to being strip searched doesn't help the cause. You'll believe me if you're ever actually strip searched. It's a far worse violation.
