This is a perfect example of taking examples to the extreme to make a point. On any given day, I will walk into a store and buy something, and on the way out, a scanner will scan me for unpaid-for items. If I have some, the scanner goes off, and I am stopped. If I don't, I go about my business, not the least disturbed or perturbed.
It is possible to create security without requiring full cavity searches on every streetcorner. WalMart doesn't do it. Neither do most stores. They use efficient and effective systems like scanners, and people pass blithely through them by the millions every day of the week. So let's stop exaggerating the point.
