So I should agree to go along with humiliation because other people do? Well that's some fucking logic.

No - I'm just pointing out that you have a choice - the humiliation is not stopping you from traveling. You are doing that to yourself, transforming humiliation into a more diminished life.
I don't think most people feel humiliated taking off their shoes and going through an xray machine.
If anything, most people are just upset that they're stuck in hour long lines waiting to go through security.

When you visit a mosque or a hindu temple, you are required to remove your shoes.

Also being asian, when you visit my house, you are also required to remove your shoes.

I hope your house is cleaner than an airport security line.
^ probably doesn't wash hands before eating food.
Because you can't eat without touching the food with hands... Ler me introduce you to napkins, spoons, forma and knives. Great inventions, those
I feel humiliated when people strip me down with their xrays and then laugh at them for kicks
Have you ever been stripped at an airport and then had the x-rays laughed at?
