Re: Are Air Travelers Criminal Suspects?

To get back to my, point, though, the fuss is being raised that the TSA is using scanners that, let us say, compromise a person's modesty. If a person refuses to be embarrassed in that way, they must submit themselves to being groped in a manner that under any other circumstance is considered "inappropriate touching" or sexual harassment. We have seen a video of a young child being stripped in public as part of this procedure, and a breast cancer survivor being humiliated as well.

When you're on a battlefield, you don't hold your fire because, well, you want to be fair and the real problem is not the enemy soldier over there but the general further behind the lines, etc., etc. No, you shoot the enemy soldier, you kill the enemy soldier, you hurt the enemy soldier.
