Everybody needs to do this. If the line to pat-down becomes so long that TSA can't get the crowds to their flights on time and the airports become gridlock, then something will have to change.

Sure, passengers can get to the airport even earlier than before, but it will take a massive boycott of the body scanners to overwhelm TSA to the point where airline flights get delayed or people miss their planes.

Let's Cloward-Piven the TSA!

We senior citizens will no longer travel by air if the obnoxious high school drop outs hired by TSA now have the authority to examine our private parts. When has any elderly person been a Muslim terrorist?
This is simply one of the obscene ways the federal government is trying to turn the citizens of the U.S.A. into voiceless sheep.

it's nothing short of sexual molestation.

I can understand the pilots and attendants, particularly, not wanting to continuously go thru’ the scanner - that radiation builds up.

But the ‘opt outs’ then get taken to the “file room” and sexually molested - hands grope every part of the anatomy - INCLUDING YOUNG CHILDREN. One mother was just able to stop MALE TSA’s from groping her 10 month and her 8 yr old DAUGHTERS! So a female did the ‘exam’ - actually groped these little ones on their vaginas.

What's a parent to do? Subject your children to xray - which you have NO assurance as to strength - of having them molested?

I'm afraid I'd be in jail for assaulting the molesters.

Now Israel has the tightest of tight security systems - have for many years after Entebbe. But they do NOT grope people.

This will be stopped - but not by us law abiding citizens of this country, It will be stopped by the Muslims who will scream bloody murder. (Of course, it would be typical if this intrusiveness were banned ONLY for Muslims!)

Would someone take a look at this Youtube
and say whether or not it’s true?

It’s about inverting the body scanner image
and coming up with a photo - will that really work?

With the scan machines out in the public for many months now, you’d THINK the X-ray flux question would be public information. A fair comparison would be between the X-ray dose from the scan machines and the X (and cosmic) -ray dose gotten from simply flying in the upper atmosphere.

Since it’s explosives that are being looked for... why the heck aren’t DOGS being used. If the metal detector does not ding and Semper Fido smells nothing, then let the passenger go, no scan, no grope (er, “patdown.”) Yeah, Muslims would scream bloody murder because dog slobber is defiling.

I agree - Thanksgiving is coming up REAL SOON! If enough folks refuse the radiation machine, TSA will be responsible for nobody getting anywhere! They will be overwhelmed!

Looks like a ‘negative’ that someone would make a print from. Negatives are not xrays.

Are the TSAs members of SEIU?

This is the reason for the concern. Pilots and flight crews get relatively very high doses of radiation every year just by doing their jobs. They understand and accept that risk. But they don't like getting x-rays or other radiation unnecessarily. And getting another nice blast every time you go to work, if not a couple more times a day at other airports, for purely the PC satisfactions of a bunch of communist seiu union thugs, is unacceptable.

I think you've hit on something here!

I'll bet you that's EXACTLY why they don't use sniffer dogs! They've been warned by the mussies NOT TO - did you know that the Fort Hood Jihardist served on the board that advises airline security protocol? I wonder how many other mussies do?

So we law abiding Americans have to be turned into humiliated, violated citizens - AND they ARE doing this to little children too! - rather than take a chance of "offending" the very group that is suspect.

I want to know if mussies are being subjected to the SAME groping - or, when they get them in the 'file room' - is there a different protocol?

What we should do is simply let the Israelis come over and teach us how to set up our airline security. They've had many years experience - very successfully.

Personally, I wonder if this isn't all part of a plan to get us used to suffering indignities - while fearing to even speak out - softening us up to meekly submit and comply like the German and Russian people had to under the Nazis and Communists.

I'm a great grandmother and am flying to Italy next year for a family wedding. I'm not sure I can go through that insanity without letting them know what I think - in which case, I expect I'll be hauled of in handcuffs.

Could some of you who have traveled overseas recently tell us if this insanity is going on everywhere?)

All flight crews and pilots just refuse to fly. When there are no flights, TSA will get the point — especially when the airlines are dumping on the WH, DHS, and TSA because they’re losing millions ever day the birds stay grounded for lack of crews.
