This post has several good points. I believe the TSA is going too far by strip searching small children and patting them down. Full body scans have been implemented also, but to be honest I would rather have my privacy invaded by a full body scan than having some stranger put their hands on my body. Its hard to say whether the full body scans are necessary but the TSA have already performed enough unnecessary procedures to cause humiliation for travelers.
I like Chris's comment saying how hard it is to get certain powers back once they are granted to the government, I agree strongly with this. If you give them the authority to see whats under your clothes then eventually they could try to gain the authority to monitor whats in your home, just like they would monitor your phone calls to make sure you aren't a terrorist. I think my colleague makes a good point when he says that the terrorists have succeeded because the TSA is so terrified of airports being attacked that they are willing to take away our rights. I agree, the TSA has gone too far.
