Please sir, can I have another?

Chucking The Fourth What's Next? An ABC/Washington Post poll shows by a 64%-32% margin, Americans favor airport body scanners, but by a 50%-48% margin they say the pat-downs go too far.  Putting aside for the moment my reluctance to accept poll results conducted by the Democrat Media Complex, I'll accept the results and respond: what a stinking, crying shame that 64%, and 32% of us, to one degree or another, are willing to cede our Fourth Amendment rights to the government - especially this government. </Putting Aside> One of the reasons I hate polls like this is they lend themselves to push-pull manipulation. 1. Are you personally worried about losing your job or life's savings, or do you think the risk is not that great? (IF WORRIED) Would you say you are very worried or only somewhat? -------Worried------- Not 2. What do you think is more important right now - (for the federal government to implement a plan that protects you against losing everything, even if that intrudes on your neighbor's plans to buy some luxury items); or (for the federal government not to intrude on your neighbors personal greed, even if that limits its ability to save you from abject poverty and losing everything you have)? Implement ......  Don’t Implement. *Modeled on two questions from the ABC/POST Poll That the TSA could have chosen a less intrusive screening machine, and chose not to, raises questions like ones raised in this American Thinker article, which begins: “ There are still some to whom it seems alarmist to assert that the execrable Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is in a purposeful confrontation with the American people. ” It's always good to look askance at any gummint plan, but with this administration it's reasonable to view everything they propose as a Jap Zero  diving on the Arizona.  PS - Poll finds Americans hate TSA antics even more this week than they did last week (Ahem)
