I have wondered if men should opt out of the scan and wear cucumbers. That or do as somebody on FR suggested— wait for them to go low and then pass gas in their face. :p

Especialy if it's a "Chester to Molester Beer an Pickled Hard-Boiled Egg, 40 decibal one." LOL

On the plus side Sikhs HATE muslims.

A flight attendant friend is telling me that it's her belief that the cleaning crew's that come aboard the aircraft between flights do not go through security. As well as employees of the various business's inside the terminal that are beyond the security check points. If this proves to be true it is a major lapse of security.

WRONG!!! It is IONIZING radiation!!

AFAIK it’s true. No need to focus on behind the scenes stuff if all you are doing is Kabuki theater.

Half wrong.

Some scanners are backscatter X-ray, some are Terahertz wave.

Considering that the radiation dose of the flight itself is about 100x higher than that of the scan, you might want to rethink taking your next flight!

Why add to it? Further you have air crews balking at the full body scan ... in part they're intrusive and in part because not enough is known about long term effects. Especially to those exposed to it on a ongoing basis.

Cosmic background radiation increases with increasing altitude. If you move to the coast, you will decrease your cosmic radiation dose by 1/2!

The airports were a pain even before all this Gestapo stuff.

If you have a round trip under 1500 miles, its just smarter to drive and spend a night at a hotel. Unless your a Muslim trying to make a statement, it makes no sense to fly these smaller trips.

I wish I never knew really.

Lot of sick people out there.

Yeah. Flip a coin.

No shortage what-so-ever. *sigh*

Oh, so you worry about the mouse while the elephant tramples you. You priorities are misplaced.

Call Israeli security experts and learn from them. They’ve offered us help for years. Why we haven’t taken Israel up on her offer of help Smells like all these Elitists in government. When the American people truly figure out whose destroying us, we’ll take care of business. November 2nd was just the beginning of cleansing the sewer. Exposure is what will destroy the enemies within.

Question number two is whose behind the cover up?
