That's been bandied about for a long time. Again I querry, what liberty is being surrendered? None, as far as I can tell. BTW, privacy in an airport or on an aircraft is not a freedom or right. You're out in public & utilizing somebody elses equipment & facilities to get to your destination. The expectation of privacy is NIL. Anybody can still travel, it's just a little less convenient because you have to wait at passenger screening. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
