If you think security measures at Australian airports seem tiresome, here’s a two-part set of humble musings from Amy about the ‘naked-picture or being felt-up’ choice that confronts travellers in the USA.
Part 1 recounts the personal experience.
Part 2 reflects on the fourth amendment and implications for personal liberty.
As a bonus, Douglas Wilson explores the ethics of who gets to conduct ‘pat downs’ and on what basis in a post called ‘Touching Sensitive Areas – Or TSA for Short.’
So, next time the airport person wants to wave that stick-thing in your hand luggage count your blessings.
