> you have to accept that it's a valid position.

What if I don't accept it?

I think I agree with you but I can't help asking "valid in what sense?"

Valid in the sense of considering the tradeoff of privacy and airline security worth it.

Some people don't believe vaccines work and cause autism. Some people believe the earth is flat. Some people seriously believe we are ruled by lizard people.

Is it valid?

At some point we have to determine what is a minimum acceptable level of cohesiveness in though to take someone seriously.

I'm not saying anti-privacy people are in such extreme, but I don't like the 'everything a valid position in the post-modern relativist world'. The line has to be drawn somewhere, and some people might draw it further in or further out. But we all do it.

Children don't like getting vaccines either. But guess what? You have to protect stupid people from themselves.

No, children don't like shots in general. Vaccines are generally delivered via needle, which means that they don't like those.

I don't know of anyone who likes sticking needles in themselves (aside from addicts, but that's another story), only those who understand the value of what's in them (I suppose that addicts would fall into that category, too.)

I distinctly remember my mom explaining why I was about to get stabbed with needles when I was four. I didn't mind.

Why do you think that?
