With the new TSA Pat-Down implementations, questions are arising fast and furiously about where to draw the line between safety and personal liberties. Whoopi came out firing on Fox News when she explained her passion to Mike Huckabee about the importance of “not getting blown out of the sky,” although some might say it’s being blown way out of proportion on the ground. Yes, terrorism is something that America is having to adjust to-and is doing a rigorously fine job-but when longtime Charlotte, N.C., flight attendant and cancer survivor, Cathy Bossi, was forced to take out her breast prosthetics because of cancerous concerns going through the scanner. For now it looks like the Pat-Down isn’t going anywhere because there aren’t other solutions that take care of all concerns as of right now. However, it should be noted that since 9/11 the TSA has not been responsible for catching, or stopping any attempts of terror. Instead it has been the helping eyes, actions of passengers that thwarted “The Shoe-Bomber,” and the few other copy cats, save one, after he had already boarded the plane, after being let on regardless of being on the no-fly-list.
