TSA

Transportation Security Administration -  created as part of a security act passed by Congress, and signed into law by Bush in 2001.

The head of the TSA has recently acknowledged that the airport pat downs have been very invasive to travelers and more than uncomfortable lately. Travelers have been complaining that these pat downs have been targeting private areas and are concerned with their privacy. At some airports travelers must decide between this aggressive method or a full body scan. What do you think? Are these methods good for us or should the government find alternatives. The American Civil Liberties Union is looking into this as it is a problem of security and invasion of privacy. One spokesman said they were concerned that this could be seen as apart of constant efforts to invade privacy and wondered if these methods were actually effective. There have been recent videos of bad reactions to the pat downs and many complaints that the procedure was more violating and aimed towards privates than necessary. Thoughts?
