TSA will grab a handful if you let them

With this latest government fleece, the Transportation Safety Administration(TSA) has enhanced its body search procedures. They now have body scanning machines that take a nude picture of every person who goes through an airport security checkpoint. If a traveler doesn't want to have random TSA employees looking at their naked bodies, there's another option...the enhanced body search. TSA employees will feel breasts, butts and crotches. It brings new meaning to "Oh what a feeling!"

Why don't we hear any serious talk about boycotting the airlines? That's an option too. The airlines are allowing this to happen as well as the flying public. Too often the conversation in the media is about what rights the government is taking away and how people are going to cope with being fleeced. Very rarely is there any conversation about American citizens taking action.

I have been listening to the talking heads on this topic, but it only goes as far as how the government is going to use its power against us and how we're going to deal with it. We have the power to coerce the TSA to scale back its enhanced security screening by not flying. The airlines have to respond to their market. The government will push as far as its citizens allow.
