TSA Nudeosope OVERKILL at McCarran, especially if you are a Woman!

What I am going to say next will certainly be upsetting to a specific group who post here. I really don't care. I have come to the conclusion that TSA screening should be broken down to two lines, 1) Those who get it , and 2) Bitchers, whiners, and complainers. If done, two things would be readily apparent- the line for "those who get it" will be quicker, quieter and preferred by most. The other line will be made up of women, liberals, and assorted trouble makers who never get along with anyone but those of their ilk. I know this system would be welcomed by the majority of people who fly. Nothing is less welcomed than having to wait and watch a supposed adult act like a child.
Who decides who belongs in what group? What happens when people in the whiner group think they belong in the "I get it" group?

Please put me in group 1 although Miss7777 makes a very good point. Some of the whiners and complainers probably don't even realize they are in that group. Perhaps a sign indicating "you may be moved back in line if you complain".

Today is the day that I know WHY I have to remove my shoes, take off my jacket, and go through a machine that would detect a weapon on me. Please take a moment and reflect on all the men, WOMEN, and children who were on those flights and would have happily gone through a machine than what they had to endure that day.

Take Care LVAers.

A-MEN. That should wrap up this thread!
The political winds once mandated that America lock up in prison camps, without due process, American citizens. They also were dispossessed of their rightful property. Their "crime" was being of Japanese dissent.

The slope is ever slippery.

Excellent point, Ken.

I have always hated the Pied Piper effect.

After all, there was an American Revolution.
Woman strip-searched after 9/11 flight landed

apparently because she sat in the same row with 2 men whom she did not know whose behavior was reported suspicious.
Chilcoot answered it the best way it can be answered. As far as I'm concerned if someone does not want to got through the same procedures as other passengers they need to wait until they they can fill a plane that want's no TSA Nudeosope or other security measures. It would make me happy.
I don't feel the OP has an issue with airport security as a whole, just that she feels she and other passengers were discriminated against.

edited to ad. IMHO, feeling discriminated and having a general disdain for airport security are two different things.
