I just went through security at the Seattle airport. I didn't get the TSA treatment, but just watching one of my fellow-travelers get the FULL pat-down made me uncomfortable. I can't imagine what it would have been like for her, but her expression conveyed shame and helplessness.
Much has been written about this, and much more eloquently than I can, but I just felt like I needed to say something. In the ongoing see-saw between liberty and safety, this was a turning point for me.
