Will/have TSA Pat Downs Kill /killed more people than they save?

Some people haven't flown since they started making people take off their shoes.

Now that the choice is between being microwaved/sexually assaulted, even more people will stop flying and will take to the roads instead.

That will make the highways more dangerous and lead to more fatal car crashes.

And then there are the additional cancers and blindnesses caused by the microwaving/x-raying.

So, will the TSA screenings kill more people than they save?

Update:

We are very brave. WE aren't afraid of the terrorists. If YOU are so afraid of the terrorists. Stay home.

Update 2:

Yes, there were car crashes before the TSA and there were plane crashes before terrorists. What's your point?

    Wounded Duck: what happened is people like YOU, too scared to stand up for your rights and too willing to let adults and even children be sexually assaulted because you're so scared of the terrorists and so stupid that you can't grasp the concept that people are not being kept safe from home if they are being subjected to sexual assault at the airport (which causes long-term trauma, especially when done to children).

    People like you, who stomp on the graves of your ancestors, disgust me.

    People have jobs they need to fly to, sick relatives to visit, funerals to attend. Staying away is not an option for many. And the TSa is now being rolled out to bus stations, subway stations, and train stations. But people like you are too cowardly to do a damned thing about it, preferring instead to insult the memory of dead people (you probably cheered when 9/11 happened) and hide in your house like a good little slave.

    Whiny bastards shouldn't be allowed to fly anyway. What happened to the "Home of the Brave"? Bunch of cowards afraid of a frisk or an xray.

    Yes, possibly, if it's not true that the scanners cause cancer.
