Response to: Government Invading Our Privacy

I believe that my classmate Allen has some good points in his article Government Invading Our Privacy, as uncomfortable as it might be for some people, this is a process that is required if we want to fly.   The Transportation Security Administration is doing their best to keep passengers safe.  Fortunately, we do have other options such as driving or buying a bus ticket.  Its a tough choice, one way or the other, we will be inconvenienced and there are no guarantees that we will be any safer.  If we choose to fly then we need to do our best to arrive early, wear comfortable clothing and know that we may be required to have a pat down search.  Hopefully, the people that are tempted to bring bombs on airplanes will be deterred knowing that they too can be subjected to these types of searches.
