Aggressive Pat-Downs

From USA Today:
"Airport screeners get more aggressive with pat-downs"

I flew out of Boston last summer and after going through the full-body scanner a TSA guy then did the aggressive pat-down. When I asked him why he was doing the pat-down after I just went through the body scanner he made some comment and continued. I don't really think these new procedures will have any real impact on airline/airport safety. I think it is just one more "fake" safety practice that is supposed to make passengers feel safer, but really has no merit. I have flown out of many airports around the world and they seem to be able to keep their people safe without abusing them.
