Opt Out of a Body Scan? Then Brace Yourself

I agree with the quote, but a line has to be drawn. Do we want 100% liberty? I am not at liberty to drive through the city at 100 mph, run red lights etc.

Western Law is based on Judeo-Christian Law, and has been for centuries. Murder is wrong because God says it is.

Sharia Law is based on a demonic pedophiles rantings, and therefore rape of innocent women is acceptable.

There is a difference between operating a 2 ton vehicle at high speed, and having your wife's crotch fondled before Gate's A and B by someone with a "badge" (who didn't even have a badge until 3 years ago) who holds the rank of a GS-5 and is a high school drop out.

If you can't see the difference, you are already lost.

You know, I miss the days of hot pants “female” stewardesses at Southwest (Cattle-Car) Airlines...

I used to fly from Houston to Dallas as an unescorted child and I had a ball!!! I could get my Mom or Dad to drop me off at the door at Hobby, go to the counter, plop down $25 and fly to Dallas Love Field where my grandparents would pick me up for a week or so...Did this two or three times a summer for a few years...

Since I was extremely cute and charming, I had the full attention of the attendents, much to the chagrin of the old, crusty, cigar smoking businessmen who eyeballed the stews too much...hehehe

I don’t fly anymore, because I am one of those old crusty types now...Don’t get the attention like I used to...;-)

And I don’t want this type of attention from the burger flippers running those machines at the airports now...Too much of a power trip for them in my opinion...

Achmed has won.

I do not believe I really tested positive, as this was all played out to intimidate me to ensure I would never do this again.

Good for you, your bravery, your restraint, and your principles.

Did you see this?

If Everyone OPTED OUT this whole thing would grind to a halt.

OPT OUT
OPT OUT
OPT OUT!

RS thanks for your service, I also wish we could go back to the good old days but I’ve come to believe it will never happen.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Simple solution...

We recruit from “The people of Walmart” for those to take the full body scan (even though they might have to take several scans to fit).

We recruit Gay Pride parade participants in full costume for the pat downs.

The TSA might surrender first.

I can’t remember the name of the airline—but there was one who’s stewardesses changed costumes a couple of time during the flight.

Every time I think about that now, I get a laugh. I guess competition among the airlines was just beginning to loom big...........

It hasn’t been that long ago that we allowed some of our young grandkids to fly alone—sort of in custody of the stewardesses, but I don’t think we’d ever consider doing that today.

I am one citizen who has had enough.

I love flying, airplanes and all things aviation and am totally jealous of your flying experience.

That said, I quit flying with the airlines.

With tremendous help from GovCo, the islamocrazies have won this battle as far as my flying is concerned.

[Sarajevo]

Then quickly a few of the TSA goons surrounded me, as I must have been the only one in a long time to refuse the body scanning machine, and then took me aside.

I would venture to say that those "goons" were amish. Nothing like a little governmental harrassment and intimidation thrown in.

[Sarajevo]

I checked out the FlexJet site. It’s a tad expensive.

there was one who’s stewardesses changed costumes a couple of time during the flight.

That was Harding Lawrence's Braniff International. The finest and most colorful airline of its day. First in the U.S. to operate the Concorde, Dallas to DC and New York. Couldn't make a go of it financially, no government bailouts during the Reagan years.

[basil]

Oh thank you! It was driving me crazy trying to think of that airline’s name!

[Atlas Sneezed]

I’m just going to request a female screener (I’m male).

Homeland Security is totally insane and is dangerous to Americans. We need to narrow it’s scope to focus only on Muslim radicals with police powers granted to them in the patriot act. As it is now, all Americans are treated as terrorists and the public is damn sick and tired of it.

They are fondling the croches of women and children and fondling womens’ breasts. They are aggressively abusive to Americans. They have named social and political activists they don’t like as terrorists. This is enough.

[SaraJohnson]

I did not take a trip recently because I did not want to deal with the airport. That has never happened before. For me the American government has reached the tipping point into sexual abuse and I am afraid if confronted by such abuse, I would react badly, making myself into an instant terrorist. I can’t do submmissive to sexual abuse.

Potato goes in front big guy.

[upchuck]

Like several other posters, I quit flying. Last flight was in 1996. Granted, I have since retired. But I really enjoy driving to my destination, even if it involves several days.

This is such a beautiful country filled, for the most part, with friendly, interesting people. Get off the Interstates and drive the back roads.

[PhiloBedo]

They got a memo to discourage opt-outs, through intimidation and embarrassment.
