90. Couple of questions
1. "You want some middle-aged man looking at a photograph of your 17-year-old daughter without her clothes on? A middle-aged man in a booth by himself?" Wouldn't a better thing be to make sure people hired to work as these screeners are mature people? Thinking of "oh those men will be tempted so let's put women in chadors" mentality.

2. What will looking at people like this all day do to the screeners humanity? Will they become less and less empathetic?

3. I fly and have never been forced to buy any hygiene liquid twice since I check my bags. Regardless of whether or not this is stupid bs (my opinion it is, more window dressing which is acting counter and pissing people off), how often must you wash your hair in flight? Maybe if you are flying somewhere for a business trip and you don't want to check your bag and the hotel doesn't have shampoo?
