I have found it amusing that the some of the same people who are so quick to accuse the federal government for playing 'catch up' to terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda are firmly against the new installed screeners at major airports across the U.S. The Transportation Security Administration have installed new screeners at airports to counter potential terrorists such as the under wear bomber last December who bypassed air port security in Amsterdam and almost succeeded in blowing up a plane destined to U.S shores.
Opponents of the new full body scanners have cited invasion of privacy as one of the reasons why they are against the installment of the scanners.
I personally have no problem with the Full Body Scanners as I believe that they are put there solely for the purpose of protecting Americans from potential terrorists. It is only a minor inconvenience I feel that Americans all over should be willing to bear just to guarantee flight safety.
Some opponents of the Full Body Scanners claim that America should not be "cowering" to the fear brought about by potential terrorist attacks. The TSA should ignore the criticisms of those who are opposed to the Full Body Scanners, afterall the very same people are quick to label the TSA as lacklustre in their approach to air port security whenever an aspiring terrorist gets through air port security.
