It's not the best thing to say, but if it gets the children to shut up, be patted down and onto the plane quicker and with less hassle then it's fine. To be honest, the parent should be able to tell the child to let these people do their job so they don't have to resort to this crap.
Personally, I think everyone complaining about being searched should just quit their bitching. It's an airport, you're searched to stop you blowing up the plane - sure, you're not going to but they don't know that and they need to make sure. These searches take 5 minutes maximum and won't delay your flight at all.
Wow I never realized it didn't take a long time, I guess it's OK for them to use these unnecessary molestations then and I'm just being angry over nothing. I mean after all it takes less than 5 minutes, nothing bad ever happens in less than 5 minutes.
It's not missing the point. It's spot on. You're complaining about a basic pat down that everyone else who flies lives with and doesn't complain
Ad populum.

- it's just a part of airline travel.
So? It's still a disgusting thing that they're doing. Telling me to just put up with it because it's there is stupid.

Don't like it? Don't fucking fly anywhere.
Again, you paranoid folks who are OK with with being sexually assaulted in the name of security shouldn't fly. I'll keep my liberties and my dignity and remain with the low odds of being attacked on the plane.
And hey it's not like I can't try to put pressure on the airlines and the government to change policy.
It's
not sexual assault. It's being patted down.
Yeah the difference is that one is done to unwilling people, and the other is done by the TSA to airline passengers who don't want it. That's the ONLY difference, so I'm going to call it molestation/assault because that's really what it is. Unwanted groping of genitals.

Nothing disgusting about that,
If you want to be fondled by someone of the same sex that's your business.
Cpt_Oblivious said:
you'd let the police do it, wouldn't you?
Fuck no. I'd demand proof they had a right to do so, I don't think they do.
Cpt_Oblivious said:
Why not these people. They're essentially the same - trained people, doing their job.
There's a big difference between the training cops get and the training the TSA gets.
Cpt_Oblivious said:
And understanding this makes me paranoid? No. You, the one who thinks that anyone even so much as touching you as part of their profession is sexual assault, are paranoid.
Straw men. You do realize they're stroking genitals right?
Cpt_Oblivious said:
And how do you think the odds of being attacked on the plan are low? Well, i's partly because of these security measures.
Mostly because the number of terrorists who have gotten past security (the old security) is very low and they haven't had a big success rate either.
