Politics: Privacy vs. Safety

We Americans are getting very close to the point where you can't get on an airplane without someone seeing you naked (virtually).  Personally, I'm all for safety/security and hope nobody gets on another flight with ill intentions.  On the other hand, I think adding another security hurdle at airports, especially one that infringes further on my privacy, is something that should concern me.  Why do airlines get all these 'safety measures' while other validly potential terror targets get completely ignored?  London was rocked by bombings in their subway and buses. There was a hotel in Bali that got bombed too.  How come nobody has to be seen "naked" to get on a train or bus, or simply to check into a hotel?  Just wondering....  What do you think?

If the TSA will get naked for me, I'll get naked for them. Deal?

Imagine having to remove your shoes every time you get on the subway!
