X-Rays at the airport

Referencing this and many other articles recently...So x-rays at the airport; passengers now are subject to a possibility of either getting a fullbody x-ray scan or getting an aggressive pat-down by TSA security. For those who oppose to either? S.O.L. It is absolutely incredible that to fly in a plane now, one could be subjected to having a government agent either see their nude body in a negative, or touch their crouch, with the front of the hand, not the old method of back of the hand. What gives the government, Department of Homeland Security/TSA, this right? Well, I suppose the government. The same one thats supposed to be 'of the people.'

There is also an alarm, especially for frequent travelers and aircrew, about the radiation exposure. Some unions are already telling their workers to avoid the x-ray scanners, but the new patdown has been likened to molestation. This is incredulous. Even people who work for the airlines are suffering. All because of security. Or so the DHS says. Security threats in airlines are no new thing, but these policies are invasive and seemingly just are scare-tactics. The government has literally no right to force this policy on its citizens. We make the laws, and we vote in our lawmakers, and we need to let our voices be heard. These new regulations are illegal and scary; to me it instills fear in passengers and increases anxiety. I don't feel safer going through an x-ray, I feel as if I am considered guilty and must prove my innocence to the government. We do not need any more regulation in this field. Maybe I will end up eating my words, but this is no solution to enhancing security at American airports.
