Debate: What messures should the U.S. take to prevent Terrorism?

The best way to crack down on preventing terrorism in the U.S. is by cracking down on Airport Security. Recently TSA has been physically searching people. Many people have complained that this is an outrage and a violation if the 4th Amendment. My response to this, is that making sure that a plane is not blown up is more important than personal space. Anthony Martin form the examiner disagrees with me.

"The overwhelming majority of citizens who fly are not suspects.  So why must all citizens be subjected to the groping, probing, and fondling hands of TSA officials when they have done absolutely nothing to justify such violations of personal privacy and dignity? In order to catch a few terrorists?"

How about this? Many people are upset about this violation of personal space, but if you die because your flight was blown up, your personal space suddenly becomes irrelevant. A perfect example of this happened to me personally just this passed October. My dad and I where flying to San Diego to see my Great Grandfather. My dad had taken a smaller sized carry on because we were just taking a one day trip. He did not check what was in the back before he started packing. It wasn't until we where already in San Diego, that my dad realized that TSA let him on the plane with a box cutter. My dad was totally unaware that  he had it with him, but that part of the story is irrelevant. the part that matters, is what if my dad was a terrorist (which he is not of course)? And what if one day TSA lets through a box cutter, but the next day they let on  a bomb, or equipment to make a bomb on board?

All I am saying, is that if the U.S. is making extreme efforts to stop and prevent terrorism, then the first step is with Airports. TSA needs to step up thier level of security to the next level. If people complain about violation of personal space and the 4th amendment, then they need to suck it up. No one is making you go to the airport and fly on a plane. Therefore, TSA has every right to do what is necessary to protect the people and make sure that each and every flight takes off and lands safely and successfully.
