I wonder if the "pilots" who flew the jetliners into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon and the field in PA would be as honored for their refusal to go through security screening.
You might be inclined to think that THEY are different from this AIRLINE pilot. And, of course, that much is true as far as it goes.
But Major Nidal Malik Hasan was probably deemed to be pretty much above suspicion, too. Well he may have been unless the folks in charge of security (maybe) took note of his ethnicity.
So, is profiling appropriate, now?
Or, in the fight against the efforts of those who'd like to blow up another crowded passenger jet, are we required to let political correctness rule the day?
I GET why many folks object to the naked-image scanners. And maybe some other method needs to be found. But what method ISN'T going to draw the ire of guys like blu and the ACLU?
methods that don't reveal private parts of people and that don't expose people to cancer causing radiation, especially since the procedure is performed by complete idiots instead of medical professionals
I have wondered what is the risk from the radiation to those who have to stand there and work the line all day. If you get an x-ray the tech in a lead lined room or wearing a lead apron if they have to assist in front of the machine.
