I don't feel pat downs are warranted. I am unaware of any terrorists discovered by TSA in the ten years using any of their security features.
One could say the pat downs are a deterrent to terrorists, but if deterrents worked we wouldn't have jails full of murderers, rapist, abusers, drug users and pushers, drunk drivers, etc.
Planes are now equipped with reinforced doors to the cockpit to prevent unauthorized entry and passengers have shown they will not allow anyone to disrupt flights.
All of this fear over something that will probably never happen again. Let's put our resources into places that can really help. Let's feed the hungry with the billions of dollars spent on TSA. Or supplement tuition for those in college. Or help people that are losing their homes in this economy.
