ORIGINAL: LaTigresse Here is the KEY part of all of this that you people are not getting, for whatever reason. I have the CHOICE to go to each and every one of those places.........the CHOICE. Not the right! It is not my right to go to a ball game, a rock concert, or fly on a plane. I make the choice, based upon whether or not I have the privilege of entrance fee/money to spend. I am making that CHOICE with the knowledge that the owners of those venues make have requirements I must comply with. If I do not wish to comply, I am in effect, choosing to not attend. My grocery store, and most restaurants require shoes and a shirt to enter. I comply with that requirement to gain entrance. No LaT, the key part you are not getting is you do not have the choice. Would you never go to a grocery store if they subjected you to pat downs? And flying is no longer something optional but a fact for people who need to travel on business. Dear Chicken Little..........the sky is not falling. Yes, I would go to the grocery store if I had to be subject to a pat down. Granted, I would consider moving if indeed, my neighbourhood was so dangerous as to create the sort of threat needed for the grocery store to implement such. Again.............IF I am going to choose to avail myself of the privilege of air travel, I have ZERO problem complying with whatever measures they've taken to attempt to insure me a safer flight.EVEN if that mean they have to check to make sure there is no questionable junk in my trunk.
