Where does your privacy stop and everyone's safety start?

UPDATE: A 3 year old gets searched while screaming



Recently, there has been a lot of news about more intensive scans and pat downs at airport security which has brought on many accusations of sexual assault and caused a lot of people to question what they are comfortable doing for the sake of security.  Recently these full body scans have leaked online, which makes us question if they should even be done if we don't want the world looking at us naked.  Some bring to question something that Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety". With this logic, wouldn't we say that the terrorists that attacked up on 9/11 have won?  There is clearly a great difference in opinion and it provides for a very lively debate. 

For example, here is what the Drudge Report is featuring today:
