President Obama made the following statement today from the Oval Office.

"My fellow Americans. You've spoken out loud and clear about your unease with the new pat down and scanning security methods being used on the air traveling public, and my administration has listened to you. And so I am happy to announce today that all major air carriers have now agreed to offer you the choice between High Security and Lite security flights.
Those of you who are concerned about terrorism will be given the option to undergo background checks, profiling, pat downs and full body scanning on the new High Security Flights. And for a small additional charge we'll throw in that colonoscopy so many of you have been avoiding, so you can enjoy the safest most secure air travel humanly possible.
Travelers who prefer the New Lite Flights will be able to completely bypass all security checkpoints and board your flights directly at the gates. No shoe removals, no baggage x-rays, no pat downs or harassment of any sort. Just sign a simple liability waiver, and you'll be off to your chosen destination, be it New York City, the exotic far east, or Kingdom Come.
You've spoken America, and I've listened.
Flights Subject to Flight Crew Availability"
People sure have been weighing in a lot on the whole pat down vs body scan debate, but it seems to me that too many people have lost sight of the fact that Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists are the people at whom our anger should really be directed.
