Re: Has the TSA gone too far?
The issue is many people--if you trust the polls it's apparently 60+ percent--believe it is wrong. I'd go so far as to say these people would say it is un-American and akin to what they would expect in a police state, if they had been asked.
We can argue the legality of it and all, but people have a strong sense of what is good and right, and that's what it all boils down to in the end.
I think there is also a broad sense that it is misguided and ineffective as well to seemly treat everyone the same instead of finding the dangerous people and keeping them from the plane.
The argument that you should have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide is very offensive to a lot of people who think deeper than you on the subject of their rights. They know you have to stand up for yourself even when it seems a small matter, or it won't matter when the issue becomes a big one.
