Political Correctness Trumps Common Sense and makes Life HELL for travelers

I've decided to weigh in on the TSA controversy.  I fly once or twice a year and the last couple of years it has turned into a hellish experience that makes NO SENSE.   To those 80% of you who think the TSA's policy is just fine, that we must "do whatever it takes"to guarantee our safety, you must not have travelled lately.

There are plenty of travel horror stories out there and I have my share.  In addition to having to deal with the late, missed or cancelled flights, weather delays and all the other miseries that accompany airline travel, we now have to suffer the indignity of submitting to either a machine that scans and films your naked body, or be subjected to "gate rape".

The really chilling aspect of this is that our own government is doing this to us.  In the name of "keeping us safe" they are herding us like cattle into a pen and giving us a Hobson's Choice.  Surrender your 4th Amendment rights or don't fly.  Doesn't it remind you of something?

But are all these "security" procedures really keeping us safe?  Has the TSA apprehended a single terrorist as a result of these screenings?  The answer is no.  This is because our response to the Islamic Jihadists threat is always REactive when it should be PROactive.   We waste too many resources treating everyone the same in the name of political correctness.  

We Americans know our enemy and it is not us.  So why do our "leaders" treat us like the enemy?  What on earth is wrong with making the most efficient use of the limited resources we have and targeting the most likely suspects for further inspection instead of adopting this one-size-fits-all, "everyone-is-equally suspect" approach to 'keeping us safe'?  

Think of the DUI Stops the cops do to keep drunk drivers off the road.  They only have so many cops and cars (resources) and they have allocate the cars they have among the myriad of responsibilities the police have (limited resources).  So what is the best use of these limited resources - putting the DUI Stop in the area where the bars are or spreading them all over town so as not to offend the alcoholics and their enablers?
