More Problems with Airport Searches

Over the weekend a video was leaked showing an airport officer strip search a child while his father stood near him feeling helpless and frustrated.

This new scan and search policies at the airport are causing several problems with customers including invasion of privacy. On one had it is better to be safe but on the other hand this will hurt the airline companies more than anything. The already dwindling profits at companies like Continental Airlines, Inc. (NYSE:CAL) will turn out even worst since customers are beginning to find other modes of transportation in order to avoid the public humiliation.
