Seriously, what is there to think about? Take the train or bus, while they're still free of this crap. Which won't be long if you sheeple don't resist.
Man, the local charter services look better each day.
These are small sacrifices we must make to be safe. /s
What makes them think that terrorists won’t carry the explosives within their bodies, where a hand exam won’t reveal them? An IUD, a tampon, a breast implant, a pouch up the rectum—these are all ways explosives could be carried. What a stupid waste this is. Reason #87329 I won’t be flying anytime soon.
Call me a liar? Then sit back and watch the transactions in SeaTac or any other major hub. It's disgraceful and needs serious punishment and an overhaul of the entire system.
Americans should be able to get security clearances at airports the same way we get conceal and carry. Meet certain criteria and you can avoid this invasion all together.
It sounds like TSA needs a DADT policy.
TELL THEM NO MORE FLIGHTS.
I also don't want to be felt up by some pervert (man or woman). It really makes me ill to think about it.

There is a Youtube video from Alex Jones at this link. On it he interviews a woman who describes what happened to her and her daughters.
The TSA should have the same employment requirements and standards of any Federal law enforcement agency.
Why would the pilot need to take *any* bomb or weapon on board? I think Egypt Air 990 proved that quite reliably. All he needs is to do something that the aircraft can't recover from; and pilots certainly know the limits of the hardware.
90% of airline travel is wasteful.
Money for fuel, goes to the Taliban

these indignities are good
Anybody attempting to touch your body like that should be reported for a sexual assault. Take your phones to the airport with you and have 911 on speed dial.
There is no assurance that women are only viewed by women in the body scan, and men by men. There is no assurance that they are not taking pictures of the scans.
Some business/economics professor should try calculating just how much all this rigamarole is costing the U.S.A. in foregone business and tourism.
I am happy that the new backscatter machines aren[’t at MIA yet, but I do have concerns with them. Flying alone, I would opt out and deal with the tsa search issues, but I may fly with my (young) son next year out of an airport that mainly has backscatters.
I won’t expose him to the skin radiation dose, but I have grave reservations about letting him get the lesson that a govt employee can touch him in the groin. This is wrong on so many levels. Not knowing who will do the search (obviously there are normal humans in tsa that will just gloss over it for a small child), there is no way to decide on the relative risk factor there.
I haven’t work out how to deal with this yet (there wil be a flight, I may be able to drive to an airport that doesn’t have the machines yet). I am very unhappy about it.
The US is becoming a police state in terms of flight screening with the new procedures.

Hear Neal Boortz yesterday?
He was talking about the TSA and his titanium knee. This was at Midway last weekend.
TSA used to wand him after his knee set off the metal detector.
Not anymore. They ‘feel’ you up now.
He said even so far as to move ‘Big Al and the boys’. LOL
IMO, the TSA and addon charges will kill the airline industry.
America is STILL training illegal aliens as pilots....
so why are we doing this?
Ain’t flew since 1996. Don’t plan to start up again any time soon neither.
