TSA will continue pat-downs

TSA claims pat-downs still necessary and will continue


A federal TSA official stated Sundays that the enhanced airport pat-downs will continue as an extra procedure of caution as the busy holiday months approach. He said security measures will be beefed up and that the measures in place will stay in place.

Many travelers are opposed to the new measures because they feel a violation of privacy is being crossed. John Pistole, the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, said he understood public discomfort over having a stranger touch them, especially when it came to the breasts, butt and genitals. Although these measures are all in place in trying to find possible hidden explosives. Any traveler who sets off a metal detector must go through the pat-down to get onto the plane.
