But you aren't there yet. So there's no sense to that argument at all.

You completely missed the analogy.

Maybe because the analogy wasn't right in the first place.

Yeah I'll tell my boss that the little 2 day business trip to London he wants to send me on, I have to take a week long boat ride or heck, just I'll just swim. I'm sure he'll be real understanding.

So if you are stopped by the UK customs to be searched, I take it you refuse and take the first plane back to the US to tell your boss those evil Brits don't let you into the country?

Congratulations on missing the point completely. If something is wrong the answer isn't to just throw up your hands and say "oh well, guess I'm not gonna do THAT anymore", you act to change it. The whole "when they came for..." thing.

Congratulations on missing my point as well.
You know that if you fly you can be searched. It's just a risk you take. And if you don't want to take that risk, then I'm afraid the only option is to not fly.

Why the HELL should we relinquish our dignity and submit to a police state?

Because the alternative to sometimes being frisked at airports is letting drug smugglers and terrorists into the country.
