As I have began to do some research on airport security scanners and pat downs, it has become clear the two conflicting sides. I have lately been leaning towards wanting security over privacy because I would rather live than be seen on a computer scanner in public. I did find one article that has, what I think is the best solution so far that may be a real possible solution. It increases privacy yet still keeps you quite safe. On www.cnn.com I found an article by Paul Courson titled More up-front disclosure by travelers could cut intrusive screenings. In this article it talks about how, instead of going through the main scanner a traveler would have the option to tell more about themselves up-front. This info would be much more than just a name, etc and would reveal probably a lot of your person info. This option would be for a fee though. I think this is an excellent idea proposed by the head TSA administrator because first of all, it gives travelers who are offended by the screening another option. It would allow those who are paranoid of flying to now be able to again because its still a very safe method. At the same time those who are not bothered by the screenings would continue to go through the standard screening procedure. This is a great option because no matter your preference there's an option for you that will guarantee your safety. This potential possibility is best at pleasing both sides of the argument; it would insure your safety but would also keep your privacy less exposed. The only thing is how much are you willing to go through to know that you are safe the next time you are on a plane?
