Why would adults object to the screening process?

Pursuant to this recent pat-down nonsense, I admit that I am screaming mad at the childish complaints about the security measures.

It is hard for me to understand the people whining and complaining about the system. I’d understand how a 10-year-old might be confused and even scared, but why would any adult over the age of 18 even give it a thought?

Obviously, these people have never been in the military, where you are taking showers every day with from 10 to 20 people basically unknown to you.

Philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Carl Jung would have a field day trying to research these totally insecure or publicity-seeking people.

Israel has the right idea, making everyone do two years in their military — no exceptions. If we do that, maybe we would not have adult crybabies.

Again, don’t moan and whine; just get in your car and drive to your destination, and let the mature adults take the screen and get on the plane.
