You've gotta wonder. What is it about conservatives that they will protest every seeming "encroachment" by the government upon their right to do as they choose--yet they will gladly accept the use of invasive technology like body scanners at an airport?
Conservatives might reply that they have nothing to fear because "they're not terrorists". But doesn't this very reply completely contradict their oft-stated desire to do as they choose? To not be told by the government how to behave? Or what to think? Or their fundamental distrust of what they government does with all the data it accumulates about them?
Like the naked pictures of them taken by government officials at the airport?
So, what about it? Can we scan our way to safety? Or are we just giving up our civil liberties so that a few companies can make massive profits (another conservative goal)?
