Privacy Issue

The holidays are coming around the corner pretty quick and that means the busiest and most frustrating time to travel is also coming up quick too. The Transportation Security Administration (the TSA) has put rules into effect this year after the failed church bombing. Their goal is to help make traveling safer, but alot of people say these new rules threaten their civil liberties.US citizens that are flying have to go through enhanced security inspections that will include full-body pat-downs if you refuse the scanner. Full body search means "private parts" too. I don't really want some TSA officers seeing or touching my personal places. Do you think this will stop alot of travel because of the intrusive searches?
