The relative values people place on risks associated with different activities can be interesting. People will take part in dangerous activities such as potholing or hang-gliding as part of a hobby without a second thought, but if they were asked to do something similar as part of their job they'd scream bloody murder. |

John: I agree. Similarly, people often argue the platitude "If it just saves one life, it was worth it" which is often nonsense. We could save literally thousands of lives in the U.S. a year by simply lowering the speed limit on highways to 25mph. It's a ridiculous notion though, and we all accept some moderate level of risk in participating in the driving process, with the understanding that there is a great danger in exchange for rapid transport. Very few of us (if any) would be willing to save lives by moving significantly slower. |

Are you referring to the image Apple? *EDIT: nevermind - I didn't post the image in this thread... I'm assuming you mean the video in the first post?* Edited by KlavierBauer, Apr 12 2011, 11:20 AM.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Don't worry, the video is just a cliff-hanger tease anyway. Never did find out whether the little girl was carrying explosives. |

The stupid "security" is all there to protect against the junior Senator from Illinois standing up and saying "this administration isn't protecting us!" That's it. It has nothing to do with any passenger security. |

The agent did not molest the kid. The agent explained what she was going to do to the mom and to the kid. The agent made sure the mom had a clear view always, even asking the mom to step in front when it was time to check the front of the kid. The agent moved her gloved hand over the entire body outside the clothing. She even used the BACK of her hand near those embarrassing filthy disgusting special NONO places. The agent did not linger, grope, massage, insert finger into orifices, drool, moan, orgasm or anything. How exactly did this damage that child? I think we are just witnessing some puritan prudish fear fear fear crap.

Not to worry, I'm sure the TSA is going to put a stop to this. They'll ban video recording of searches soon enough. |

You can beat someone to a pulp, but they will heal. So what damage was done? Psychological. No one has the right to run their hands all over a little 6 year old, I don't care what the reasoning behind it is. The day we will be safe in the air will be the day they allow honest citizens who have passed background checks regarding their criminal history and mental fitness to carry guns. |

I thought they already had. I've seen signs posted that no video recording or talking on a cell phone was allowed in the security area. |

Watch the video again Kenny, and look at the expression on that little girl's face as she stands there with her legs apart and her arms up in the air waiting to see what's going to happen next. Then you tell me if that's real or not. Will it cause permanent harm? Who knows. Little kids can absorb a lot over time. But if I'm being a "puritan" by feeling sad for that little girl, and if I'm being "puritan" for being adamant that no one who ever did that to a kid of mine would see another sunrise, then so be it. I honestly think that had I been there witnessing that I'd have cold cocked someone even though it wasn't my kid being mauled. |

I'm not much of a prude - at least I don't tend to think of myself as one, and I think that while some may feel it's reasonable or even necessary to do, it is not healthy mentally for this young child to have to deal with her personal space being invaded in that manner. Perhaps it's unavoidable at this stage in the game - I don't know. But it doesn't feel good to see it, it doesn't feel good in my gut to know it's part of the world I live in, and it doesn't feel goot knowing that kids have to be aware of more than they should be at an earlier age than is necessary. Those feelings have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not seeing boobies in a magazine or on screen makes me feel ashamed - this isn't about prudish puritan behavior. It's about innocence, and protecting it as long as possible. |

Sadly, not everyone is so unburdened by personal standards. Otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about offending anyone about anything. |

If that woman picked up that little girl at a playground and took her to a private place that would be very different from what transpired in the video. Yet I see posters reacting as if they were the exact same thing.
