Rush & Huckabee Challenge Obama: Let the TSA Pat Down the First Family

Last weekend, President Obama responded to public criticism of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) new airport screening techniques, suggesting that the process is "frustrating" for everyone, but necessary.

"'If it's OK for your wife, your daughters, and your mother-in-law, then maybe the rest of us won't feel so bad when our wives, our daughters and our mothers are being put through this humiliating and degrading, totally unconstitutional, intrusion of their privacy.'"
