Securitayyy!!!

Ok this is a little late but I would just like to rant about people complaining about the new airline security measures.  The new thing is that 1) go through the body scanner or 2) get patted down.  Ok so the body scanner can see all your marbles.  Well get the fuck over it.  I'm so sick of people complaining about this.  It's for security purposes and to stop another 9/11 from happening.  I personally think they should let all the people who refuse to get scanned or patted down get onto another plane that you don't have to be subjected to security checks.  How much of a fuss would they put up over this if that was the case?  Yeah sure everyone is bitching about how it violates the Constution and takes away their freedom and all that but what about lives that would be taken away if security measures like this weren't in place?  And so what if the TSA people are going to see you essentially naked?  No one is going to be seeing ANY of you if your fucking plane gets hijacked and blown up.  I'm a nurse and I see naked people every day while they are sitting on the OR table unconscious, getting worked on; no one complains about that.  You know why?  Because it's to save lives, and so does a simple 5 second action like walking through a body scanner.  Do you know how many people the TSA guys probably see naked walking through those scanners every day?  Probably hundreds.  I'm telling you, when you see that many naked bodies on a regular basis you really don't even notice anymore, it just becomes second nature.  And you will never see these TSA people again.  It's not like they're gonna see you sitting across the bar next weekend and whisper to their TSA friend "hey look remember that guy?  he had huge balls."  The hot girl sitting next to you is more likely to whisper to her friend "hey I think that guy is gay, he keeps staring at those two TSA agents over there."

So my point is, yes, our personal freedom is what makes America great, but when that freedom interferes with the safety of its citizens then there needs to be a little give and take.  Walking through a body scanner is a small sacrifice to make to protect the people in this country and make them feel safe compared to what our military men and women do every day overseas, so shut up and just walk.
