This is actually a great idea cause the free market would ensure that the right people are in the patting down business.

I won't even bank at a place that has a "no guns" sign.

Are you trying to tell me that people still go inside banks!?


THAT'S JUST CRAZY TALK!

This was going to be my response.

Who the hell goes to a brick and mortar bank anymore? heh

I don't even think you have to go in for a lot of banks for crap like home loans now-a-days.

i would never participate with a business that does ridiculous crap like forced patdowns...especially one that provides no benefit to me...like a bank....and especially when there are other options for similar services

And that is what I have been saying about this topic all along.

I will also state that the original analogy here is way past stupid.

Then you'll be happy to know that this does indeed happen at the NYSE and NASDAQ, every day, at least to enter. Visitors must leave fingerprints too.

Sorry Kay, but you can't really make this argument after the latest Wall Street Scandal. Which made the economic fallout from 9\11 pale by comparison. And nothing has changed.

For obvious reasons, people have very different responses to white collar crimes and bank robberies involving dangerous weapons.
