Reply #148: My wife pats down schoolkids daily.

Granted, she works at an "alternative" school for misxcreants -- the kind of school you go to after you've been expelled from the school you went to wh en you got expelled from, and drugs and violence are a daily occurance, but every time the TSA subject comes up, we look at each other like "hey, it looks just like summer school!" And in the end, its still just children; most of them aren't that bad and most of them are there for drugs.

Actually, the two of us would rather have the TSA patdown -- at least on the TV it appears less invasive.

So yes, I agree with you. They try this stuff out om captive audiences first, before rolling it out for the general populace.
