One of CNN's bloggers, Roland Martin, tells Americans to be quiet and put up with the TSA hassles:
Take the full body airport scanners. Civil libertarians are up in arms, saying it violates the privacy of Americans. But come on, folks, are they really that bad?
Why is that no one wants to be inconvenienced, but had Flight 253 gone down in flames, killing hundreds and causing more harm to the nation’s airline industry, folks would have been yelling and screaming at politicians for not doing their jobs? If the scanners will keep weapons off planes, I’m all for it.
Yes, Roland, it is that bad. And what is going to happen when one of these "strip search" scanners fails to find a weapon or a bomb? I'm sure that the government will want all of us parading in the nude at the airports and, no doubt, Martin will be telling us to shut up and take off our skivvies.
