updated 17 minutes ago It is optional. I, and many others, opt for it. It reveals less than what teens wear these days. If you're that protective of your body, opt for the pat down instead. But don't take convenience away from me because you're a prude. That isn't a right you have.

updated 17 minutes ago A few months ago, i was subjected to "further security measures" and patted down... My outfit was tight and fitting, while another female officer stood there and screamed "What's she got on her?!?" It was so embarrassing and I'll never fly through that airport again.

I can draw no other conclusion than that Americans really don't give a hoot about Freedom.
As I look out over the country, as I encounter all sorts of people, as I have a variety of discussions and read all sorts of opinions, I find a universal belief, even among gun owners, that the government must be sufficiently powerful and intrusive to accomplish a x or y that some slice of the populace wants the government to impose on some other slice of the populace.
Unfortunately, the government is willing to oblige all requests for bondage, to the point where each person is controlled by each other person's desires so thoroughly that nobody is exempt from restriction. In the face of universal shackling, anyone who argues that one's highest moral goal is to stay out another's affairs is seen as an "extremist."
This country, indeed, Liberty, does not have a bright future. I fear we all love evil too much to repent it.
