Because we'd like to meet our family directly at the gate?

I like your argument but meeting family at the gate was one of my favorite things as a child. And it won't be enough unless I can arbitrarily check through security to meet my family.

That has nothing to do with the scanners and everything to do with requiring a boarding pass.

The TSA does a lot wrong, but just because the TSA does it doesn't mean it's wrong.

True, my response was a bit muddled by replying, maybe, too broadly to the question about what we're upset about. I changed the subject and I'm sorry to have made that mistake.

Assuming that everything the TSA does is wrong seems to be a much more useful rule of thumb than its reverse.
