I have not made up my mind.

the "child test" is a good barometer for this topic. And it should be used for anybody who approves of the TSA policy (either actively or passively).

for me...I could give a crap about someone seeing me naked. But I really have an issue with strangers touching me...especially anyplace that is close to being intimate (belly, inner thighs). I can only imagine how rape and molestation victims would react to such an intrusion.

Now when it comes to JXN...11 years old. I'm sorry TSA, you can't take nude photos of my son or grope him in intimate areas of his body. We've spent 11 years teaching him that his body is HIS and nobody has the right to touch him without his consent. I'm not going to throw that lesson away for a policy that is clearly meant to have the appearance of providing security, but where there truly isn't any additional safety element.
