I mean, all day you're doing things you may personally find inappropriate. Everyone hates you, you feel hostility, it must suck.

1. You can always compensate yourself from time to time with a great little feel

It can't be bad ALL the time.

2. I totally agree

It must be absolutely awful. I really feel bad for the people who have to take the abuse for the decisions that other people have made.

4. It would solve the problem if people would be civil to workers

3. Less than living in certain neighborhoods or certain schools which we let happen all the time

5. We Become Desensitized

as we have become over the years. I am surprised that this one step created a backlash. The powers that be surely thought we would accept the intrusion. In time we will give in and the scanning and pat downs will be a normal part of life at airports. In a few years I wouldn't be surprised to see scanners at government buildings and later on at public places like malls. But we sheeple will herd on through them and wait for the next intrusion in our lives.

6. classic transference.

Yes what we should worry about is the effect on the prison guards, never mind the prisoners.
