“Whether your or I like it or not these scanners will be fully deployed and an overwhelming majority of Americans will learn to tolerate them”
This is a true statement, unless of course we the people refuse to tolerate them.
Tell you what—I believe we will refuse. Marxism-inspired police tactics don’t go over too well, nor do other marxist ideas.
The democrats, and any republicans going along with them, will answer to us.
We'll see what happens over the next few days. If a significant number of people opt out of the scanners resulting in noticeable delays it will be interesting to see how the average flyer reacts.
If the average flyer sides with the protestors and blames the TSA, then there is hope. If the average flyer complains about the protestors and says something like "I know I know it's not right, but I have to get to Aunt Edna's and I don't want to get stuck in the airport so please do what you're told" well then that's another story entirely.
