A blog titled Ron Paul: TSA Has Gone too Far that was written by Ashley talks about the argument that Representative Ron Paul makes against the TSA's new method of airport security. This new method of airport security consist of a pat down before anyone is allowed to board the plane which includes them checking the breast area of women and the groin area of men.
As I am sure many people agree that this issue is a violation to ones civil rights but the intent of this new method is to reduce the risk of terrorist or anyone with intentions to harm passengers on the plane from boarding the plane. I can also agree with people that say it is uncomfortable and not a pleasurable experience, but to what extent do you value your life? In my opinion its a rather good trade off to sacrifice your civil rights for 5 minutes in order to possibly disrupt an terrorist attack and save your life. What people don't understand is that the airport cannot control the actions and intentions of crazy people out there who always coming up with new schemes to get dangerous devices on a plane, because of this airport security must adjust in order to uphold the safety of the passengers.
