I think you will find that you give up all your rights when you go onto airport property. If you don't like it, don't enter.
We hate what is happening to us, but we must comply with the stupidity since we make our living from it all. If we are charged with a crime (Disrespecting the security bighead for example) we lose our jobs, so like it or lump it we must accept the whole thing. But passengers do not, and unfortunately too many passengers have opted out of the system and do not fly any longer. Thus the problems the airlines (and therefore us) are now in.
The big push for enhanced security, especially in the US, is for show only. Anyone who knows how the system works will appreciate that criminals are much smarter and can easily modify their procedures to avoid being stopped or caught. But Joe Sixpack does not know that, and he trusts his government to protect him. What he does not like is the delays, hassles and inconveniences the enhanced security presents, and he is finding it quicker to drive, or simpler not to go at all. In California for example, flying is down but travel by road is way up, showing that people are still going on vacation, or visiting grandma etc, but they are avoiding airplanes.
As well as the hassles, the enhanced security seems to say that flying is dangerous. If the government feels it necessary to search the ex-vice president of the United States, or your grandmother, or your 5 year old daughter, then there must be a definite risk. Better not to be exposed to that risk!
Yet on a day-to-day basis, Sep 11 was an aberration, and the big dangers in flying are still pilot error. The chances of being hijacked are so small as to be totally insignificant, as is the danger of a checked in bag going boom. I read that in the US some 98,000 people die every year because of medical errors, yet doctors don't have to take off their shoes before operating.
Enhanced security was needed, for sure, but this in-your-face stupidity is totally counter-productive and every one of us should be calling for a change.
