Surprise! Increased security leads to...

... even more increased security. Looking at our naked images and/or giving us a good rogering is apparently proving not enough to be limited to our nation's airports. Homeland Security chief, Janet Incompetano, is now talking about installing these machines and procedures for other modes of public transportation as well - such as bus depots, train stations, and ocean liner ports. In the words of Incompetano:
[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through... I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime. So, what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?
Lovely! So the increased (yet still useless) security that has been foisted upon our airports is now being used as a reason to send these invasive machines and procedures to other places where the American public can be further harrassed and felt up.

I don't feel safer already.

Meanwhile, our borders are standing wide open and Hezbollah is assisting the Mexican drug cartels, and weapons and explosives are being smuggled into the US.
