I'm waiting for the first child pornography accusations to hit over viewing of teenagers' naked bodies.
And I'm endlessly entertained by counterclaims of "if you're not doing anything wrong, of course you won't mind being visually strip-searched by airport personnel" and "having everyone viewed naked is a reasonable cost to catch the miniscule number of people attempting to do bad things."
By that logic, people should be strip-searched when they leave department stores; that would cut down on shoplifting. (The claim is that these searches are for "bombs"--but how many planes have been blown up in the last 20 years? These searches are meant to catch *drugs*, not weapons, despite the hype about safety.)
I've found my own solution: I don't fly.
And the airlines wonder why business is down.
