We pay enough for airline tickets, baggage, etc. I'm not willing to pay 'extra' to avoid stupid, invasive, and ineffective procedures that do nothing but minimally make me 'safer'.

Anyone who accepts this government behavior is a frightened sheep that believes TSA might catch an airline pilot hiding a box cutter up his butt - thus he will be prevented from holding it to his own throat and forcing himself to dive his plane into a building.
