What is it about airports that makes the experience quite pleasant at times? At least for me. I grew up around airports all my life. I've flown to places that only a quarter of Americans dream of flying to. For the average American, I've been to more airports than the average American goes to amusement parks. As you can see, flying is a way of life for me. Yet, when I read about how Americans are starting to protest the new TSA regulation with image-scanning machines (which by the way, is hardly used during extremely busy days such as Thanksgiving weekend) and with additional pat-downs, you can say that I'm alittle mystified. 

People, like myself, who are used to flying all the time, are already used to these new regulations, in fact, there's nothing new about them at all. There will always be new, innovative technology that will come out that will be controversial, yet, in the end, people are willing to give up their privacy for their security. When the metal detectors came out, there was a outcry, yet, people got used to the idea over time. With the development of newer technology, it is likely that you might not have to give up your privacy for your security. 

However, for the meantime, we still need to give up some privacy to make sure that security at all American airport can be at their highest standards.
