Bravo, Ron Paul.
It is our fault. We blindly vote for unprincipled and self-serving politicians to represent us in government, then turn our backs on them and are shocked to find out the kooky stuff they're cooking up in Washington. One day, you show up at the airport to fly to your cousin's wedding and are given the option of having a naked picture of yourself taken or experiencing a full-body "pat-down" -- both at the hands of a mostly underpaid, underqualified, and ill-tempered airport Stasi.
This should be the final straw for us -- the sheer ridiculousness of it begs for acts of civil disobedience to help us win back our dignity. The government keeps telling us how important these measures are for our safety. If that's true -- if the peep-and-grope is truly our last line of defense against terrorism -- then God help us all.
