When I went to the airport today, I was put in the uncomfortable position of a so-called “naked” full-body scan. Today’s experience was very different from the last flight I made, nearly two weeks ago; at that time I only had to go through a magnetometer. Today there was no option — it was either the full-body scan, a humiliating pat-down or no flight. All passengers flying out of Washington, DC were subjected to the new procedures. So, like confused cattle, our uneasy line of air travelers was herded through the machine.
But my experience today was nothing compared to that of Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, a 61-year-old retired special education teacher from Lansing, Michigan. Sawyer was reportedly on his way to a wedding in Orlando when his medical condition caught the special attention of security.
As a survivor of bladder cancer, Sawyer wears his pants two sizes to large to accommodate medical equipment he must now wear. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the [urostomy] bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes,” he recounted to MSNBC.
On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security checkpoint at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure,” he said. Because of his medical condition, Sawyer says he asked to be screened in private. “One officer looked at another, rolled his eyes and said that they really didn’t have any place to take me,” said Sawyer. “After I said again that I’d like privacy, they took me to an office.”

Safty has nothing to do with this.
It is all about conditioning the sheep to obey orders without questioning, no matter how humiliating or degrading.
You can believe it or not believe it.
Amen! And by no stretch of the imagineation, a Conservative.
The Boss took a big chunk of his rear end a while back. Since then, he hasn’t posted much, if any.
At this point in time, mice.
Forcing tribes to be more like the ideal of the ruling elite is what happened to the Indians. It's what modern day liberals try to do to the rest of us today.
It's very similar to what happened to the Indians. Liberals are forcing us to eat their 'healthy' food ( as THEY define it), driving the cars THEY feel are 'green', thinking the 'correct' thoughts - the PC ones... AS THEY SEE IT etc.
There have always been control freaks who felt they had the right to impose their standards on the rest of us.
Trust me, the liberals of today are no different in their 'superior attitude' than the idiots who tried to destroy the Indian cultures for the 'betterment' of the ignorant Indian. Conservatives are subjected to that type of superiority every day... in the media, on TV, in the movies, with the Daily Show type comics... endless put downs of "our" culture - which they derisively refer to as guns, God, and religion...

“You need to adjust your attitude and do as you are told.” <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Right then I would have said, “Am I under arrest?” And if the answer was NO, I would be marching to the airline for my money back and a threat of false imprisonment suite.
If the answer was yes I would start to leave and if a hand was put on me, there would be a knuckle sandwich on the way followed by a kick to the groin that would have his balls popping out of his mouth.
No one takes my freedom without a warrant. NO ONE!
I think that we should all use his plan, wear warm up suits with spandex underwear and strip down at the security lines, then tell the TSA agent to look but don’t touch. Get lawyers lined up ahead of time, standing there filming the whole procedure. We do this in every airport and see what happens.
It's hard for thugs to extinguish the light of a freedom loving people... it's in our blood to fight control freak totalitarians... Thanks for sharing, Eva.

A little cloud ... - Sailors know full well that such a cloud on the far horizon is often the forerunner of a violent storm
Mission accomplished.
That is the goal of tyrants. Read Orwell's 1984 or brush up on your Middle Ages history.
I'm not comparing this to burning heretics at the stake but the goal is the same. Uniformity, compliance, acquiesence, humiliation. And the good news is it's all paid for with your own tax dollars!
Everyone knows what’s in Room 101.
Why is it ALWAYS snakes??
Oh...
Wait...
Different story...
bttt
Too bad there ain't no GOAT OWNER in Indiana that would take you in!
If I bring a bag of Coffee?

You sweet talk ME; but JACK ain’t so forgiving!
LOL
Get back Jack! I’m a pretty good preparer of PORK shanks and LAMB shanks. Hmmmmmmmm......
