This is from CNN :

"Federal transport authorities are ratcheting up security measures just ahead of the holiday travel season with an awareness campaign intended to make passengers more proactive in their own safety.The "if you see something, say something" campaign is the government's latest effort to bolster transport security, showcasing advertisements in airports, movie theaters, gas stations and local radio stations, according to a Department of Homeland Security statement on Monday."It is important to remember that every individual has a role to play in keeping our country safe and secure," DHS chief Janet Napolitano said in the statement.

...

"The campaign comes amid growing controversy over airport screening measures that some passengers have complained are intrusive.Over the weekend, a 31-year-old man was fined $10,000 after refusing a pat-down at a San Diego, California, airport.

Sikh advocacy groups in the United States are also publicly opposing airport passenger screening measures they say require hand-searches of turbans, despite the use of electronic imaging technology."

ME:

But is this advertising not only violating our right to privacy and civil liberties but also provoking fear? Should they be able to see a naked image of anyone?

Should the TSA be spending money to advertise about being alert in movie theaters?

I think we have gone way too far!
