Current Events QTR 2 Week 7: What if we ha no air security check?

Summary:
            In this article, it talks about how the Transportation Security Administration seems to have been caught off guard by the genuine anger on the part of passengers in recent days. Americans have acquiesced for so long to just about anything the government has asked them to accept in the name of national security that the TSA may have thought that of course, if safety was at stake, the public would always willingly go along.But the body-imaging machines that see through clothing, paired with the humiliating new pat-downs, have, perhaps for the first time since 2001, made people begin to ask the question: How much is too much? 
Opinion:
         In my opinion, we shouldn't have to walk through these body-imaging machines. We should be able to pick body-imaging or the regular walk through machines. I agree we should be protected but not like this.The saddest thing is that it is, indeed, becoming a controversy in which those with opposing viewpoints are characterized as being on different sides. We should be able to choose on age, weight and height. In my opinion.

  1. I'm wondering if this will begin to affect air travel to the point that people aren't flying as much causing the airlines to lose money.

    I'm not really comfortable with the scanners, but I'd rather be safe.
