Airline passengers nationwide will be subjected to new aggressive and controversial body searches likened to “foreplay” pat-downs under the expansion of a program tested at Logan International Airport.

I’ll never fly again.
When the RATs were whining and lying about Bush stripping us of our civil rights, but couldn’t actually name any freedoms they had lost...
This is the main thing I noticed. I still hate it.
Enough is enough, just profile and harass the damned muslims.
Ain’t that the sad truth!
I am still mad at GWB for doing this to us.
I am never flying again, but if I do... "That Guy" will be me.
This is going to have a serious impact on the Japanese tourist trade to Hawaii if it is true. The first time a Japanese woman gets excessively man-handled by a TSA goon, the brown organic matter will most definitely hit the rotary air impeller.
Here’s my solution:
1. Let them pat you down publicly.
2. When they get into a sensitive area, give a little jump like a hair got caught in a zipper and say “Ow!” loud enough that others nearby can hear it.
(BTW, there’s no scientific basis whatsoever that these body scanners are safe. No research. No testing of animals over long periods of time with larger radiation doses. Nothing. Nada. Zip. The Feds are just saying that. “Oh sure, of course it’s safe. I’ll opt for the public patdown plus a little theatrics. But mainly I’ll opt not to fly at all any more.)
During the pat down did you say “Oh, yeah, baby....ooooh....yeah......that’s the way I like it.....don’t stop.”

If you go through the scanner and they think they see something, you get pat down anyway, so what’s the point?
The radiation from these things is enough for me to never walk through one. Just wait till TSA starts getting workers’ comp complaints of “officers” (they are glorified baggage handlers with police power) that may start having higher rates of cancer being around those machines.
TSA == Tough Sh1t, A55ho1e
Or fried clams...:)
How about a Mooslim?
The first hiring wave of TSA included multitudes of veterans who thought the TSA was a credible way to serve.
The second wave included a great deal of IT folks who got hit when the IT bubble burst back in 2002. This group included a large number of very educated and highly intelligent people.
I trained baggage screeners (not passenger screeners) for 6 months in 2002 and know that what you are saying is the opposite of how it started.
EPIC.org is a good start about this and other issues. Note news items at end of link.
There ya go....if enough people (women) do this, it will stop.
I, for my part, will never fly again. There is nowhere that I could ever want to go that is more important to me than my dignity. Too bad so many don't have the luxury of making that choice.
Actually, just last week, my brother was patted down after going through the naked body scanner thing. He was pulled aside and discreetly told that they needed to pat down his...ahem...groin area and asked if they wanted to go to a private area or in front of everyone. He opted for some privacy and there was one patter downer and two observers. They patted him down and then he was on his way.
Most of the memorable ones I've ever encountered were obese black women with a real bad attitude.
Of course I don't remember the friendly and normal people.
Yeah, I hear ya.
Atlanta and Reagan are some of the worst.
