Airport Screenings

After the Transportation Security Administration or TSA received excessive amounts of complaints pertaining to the new airport screening policy, they have agreed to "loosen up" and rethink their policy on the full body screenings at airports. The TSA will be trying to find the least invasive yet most secure way of screening all the travelers. According to Janet Napolitano, very few passengers receive a pat-down, though allowed that those who do may be surprised because most Americans “are not used to a real law-enforcement pat-down like that.” The bigger issue though is that people feel like their privacy is being intruded, yet we are the ones who want tighter security to ensure our safety for every flight. According to John S. Pistole,“We’re going to look at how can we do the most effective screening in the least invasive way, knowing that there’s always a trade-off” between security and privacy. Quid pro quo, we have to give to get. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good of mankind, yet theses changes should be ethical and able to give people the comfort of their own privacy.
