If you don't like it don't go.Because I have a constitutional right to be free from illegal or unreasonable search and seizure. And I never said I wouldn't do it. I just resent it. I'm a diabetic and on an insulin pump. My pump doesn't usually set off the metal detectors and isn't sensitive to it, but some glucose sensors can't go through the detectors. Those people have to get patted down every time. I've had that experience at the airport when I had the sensor. Trust me, it's an invasion of your privacy.
You don't need a gun or even something metal to kill someone either. And please don't go there - "it would have happened eventually." You do not and cannot know that. It's irrational fear talking. All I said was I don't like them. You can try to convince me that they're a good thing or they make everyone safer... you may or may not be correct. Either way, I still don't and don't have to like them.
I prefer being safe over a handful of people being upset over their misguided feelings of their privacy being invaded. In this day and age people can easily conceal a metal weapon and if the metal detectors stop even one person from causing a major incident than they have done their job.
