Conclusion to TSA series
Let’s not forget that they have already changed the policies once and public pressure can help them change again. However, the law of the land is what it is. If you choose to fly, you may have to give up naked pictures of you, your wife, and your children or you will have to explain to them that a stranger will touch them.
So, resistance is a grand Christian tradition. When people have stood up to unjust laws, things have changed. And, this is an unjust (and immoral) law. It is not the fault of the many fine employees of the TSA. They are just doing their job as assigned– and they don’t like the gropes either. So, follow the law, exercise your rights, and call your member of Congress.
This is actually not a radical view. It is ALREADY the view of the House of Representatives. As Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, explained, “You don’t have to look at my wife and 8-year-old daughter naked to secure an airplane.” The House voted 310-118 to ban the virtual strip search machine as the primary scan. The Senate never voted on the issue so it is not law. Today, I am guessing the Senate will take additional action.
Everyone knows we need security. My suggestion is simple: enhance the current system with more Israeli-like security and live with the fact that you simply cannot make every place in society a fortress that you can only enter via strip search. You don’t want to live that way.
Feel free to weigh in but do so respectfully or our government and others. – Ed Stetzer
