Default Will air travel get any easier?

For God's sake, has America lost her dignity?
Now we have to take off our clothes to go through metal detectors, have to show our IDs every 10 feet, and can't even take water on board.
Think airports will get any easier to travel though or is just going to get worse?

If you think it is going to get worse, please be specific with your ideas.

Thanks

Um...it's not just the US. All that you have listed above is pretty much a universal and standard practice (take off your clothes??? where??). Great Britain is even more fastidious about the liquids brought on board...that's where the shoe bomber boarded, and where the flammable liquid scare originated.
It's been like this for a while now...is it different where you live??

I remember when it was much easier. Of course, aircraft hijackings were not uncommon back then. And, of course, there was 9/11. Personally, I prefer that we don't make it that easy again.

I don't have to take my clothes off. You only have to show your ID once. You can take water on the plane if you buy it after security. It's not that bad here. Try flying out of England it's worse.

Would you rather be blown up during your flight because some person wasn't checked completely enough and carried some explosive fluid onto the plane?
I think the U.S. and other countries are doing a very good job of protecting our safety, and even though it can get a bit frustrating at times, our well being is what matters.
