B) By sacrificing our freedoms and dignity in this manner, we are letting the terrorists win. We are moving more towards a totalitarian police state(you would love this) as a result of our fear of being blown up.
I'm not sure how reasonable security measures is "letting the terrorists win," but okay. If you really believe that pat-downs and random searches constitutes a violation of American principles !! or whatever, then I guess you have a right to be upset.
But to be clear, this *isn't* hypocritical. That'd be like saying it's "hypocritical" for a police officer to be allowed to shoot a criminal and not a regular citizen.
