As someone who is a frequent flier I believe this new "enhanced" patdown procedure and the full scanners are going too far. Back when there was only one or two scanners per airport it was okay because you only had to go in it if you refused to comply with TSA. This obviously has changed. I for one dont see how this is making America safer.
Ive never felt unsafe flying once, yet Ive been pulled aside a few times, even by customs. By TSA's new standards I can get slapped with a new pat down because of a quarter in my pocket. Way too far guys. Focus on people making a scene and who actually look suspicious. Not on me and my elderly grandparents. The whole reasoning behind this new procedure is to stop people like the "underwear" bomber from last Christmas. Maybe TSA should just hire people to do their jobs correctly for once.
