Yes, this is the most appalling about this debacle. Everyone read Lost’s post.
Apparently (and this happened to this guy and the guy in San Diego), once you decide you do not want this government rape, you have lost your right to leave. The TSA (and airport police??) FORCE you to submit to the rape anyway.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO OUR RIGHTS AS FREE CITIZENS???
They now assume that if an American decides NOT to submit to the sexual assault, and wishes to leave the airport, that this is a threat to them??
This has gone FAR too far.
Yep. All true.
I wasn’t planning to travel on the Nov 24 “Opt Out Day”, but I am considering getting a poster made up and taking it to our airport to warn people. Something along the lines of “Know Before You Go”.
I don’t think the majority of people know about the naked scanners and “enhanced pat downs”. And I can guarantee you that most don’t know that if they get in the line, they’re signing up to finish the process. Like you, I think it’s nuts, but maybe informing people is a good start.
