This will not end well in my neck of the woods.
I’m packin’ too, as is my legal right in the Republic of Texas.
Documents Reveal TSA Plan To Body-Scan Pedestrians, Train Passengers
The left was screaming mad when Bush wanted to monitor library checkouts of bomb-making books but dosing random people with radiation on public sidewalks is ok with them.
Well, it’s no different than “women’s rights activists” being ok with 700 million female muzzie slaves and millions of clitectomies.
It all depends on the “who”, not the “what”.

I believe we had a discussion regarding this not all too long ago Ping.
After the momentary uproar about passengers being scanned and/or felt up at airports under penalty of arrest, where’s the outrage?
If this (TSA mobile scanning) comes to pass, Americans for the most part will bitch about it for a little while, then ultimately and passively accept it too.
That went out the window didn't it?
Not fantasy, it’s happening now. TSA/MBTA Transit police select random train/subway customers at entrance to train/subway, and inspect their bags, sometimes with dogs or explosive sniffers.
Been happening randomly but consistently since 2004! Saw it at Alewife Station on New Years 2011.

I have observed the left never is worried when one of their own is in the WH. War in Iraq and Afghanistan OK, wireless wiretaps OK, Gitmo not closed OK, TSA sexual assault OK, yada yada yada. It is only when there is Republican in the WH they come unglued.

“along with mobile x-ray vans capable of scanning pedestrians on city streets.”
Just because a device is CAPABLE of doing something does not mean it is intended to be used that way. True, eventually the government will get to doing everything it can (and more), but this article takes a possibility and reports it as an intention.
