Sheep are meant to be sheared and the American Public has become sheep ready for the slaughter.

And the head butcher is Barrack HUSSEIN Obama.

oh please. everybody hates the very idea of those freaking things and of the TSA in general.

Polls have just declared their lack of credibility.

Look how bonkers soccer-moms are about being in the same county as second-hand-smoke from a cigarette. Just wait till they find out these X-ray machines are equivalent to smoking 10 pacs of cigs for each scan.

Don’t worry, though, the death panels will know how to handle your TSA induced cancer.

I do not believe the 64% statement. It is too easy to set up a poll to get the figures you wish to have.

That is because they don’t know Michael Chertoff sold them to the airports and PROFITTED BIGTIME as well as SOROS owning 11,000 shares.

The poll is defective because it includes people who never or seldom fly. History proves that not enough people care about the violation of other people’s rights. It is only when the oppression hits home that they become energized.

Just ask people if they would like for a TSA agent to be able to see through the clothes of their under 18 year old daughter or granddaughter and see how the poll changes.

The big lie behind all of this is that all of the public is equally likely to be a bomb carrying terrorist therefore random screening is the best defense. That is just enormously stupid. When you start the process on a lie you get a bad outcome.

And half of the population never flies. I have flown about 3 times in 20 years.

I am opting out of full body x-rays at the airport because I hate anything that enables the neo-Nazi’s to violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

X-ray baths are far more dangerous than tanning beds.

“Hey little girl, you’re going to have to lift your arms so we can blast xrays through all of your lymph nodes.” Dr. TSA

Like another poster, I got this e-mail from a friend (Tongue in cheek, but this is a great concept for the entrpreneural).

The Israelis are developing an airport security device
that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

Its a bomb proof booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial. Justice would be swift. Case closed!

You’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled
explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system . . . “Attention standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number XXXX. Shalom!”

Hats off to the Israelis!!!!

What they are doing with these machines is potentially so unhealthy that I don’t see how they are ever going to be able to backtrack, politically. I also don’t think they will ever voluntarily allow testing of the machines. I also worry about the roaming backscatter vans.

Surprised no one has walked through one with a rad badge and reported on it so far.

I only have a few flights left in the US, and am hoping to simply quit, or go through alternate countries after that.

I went thru PHX security last week. The T and A agent asked if I had any naked pictures with me ... I said “no” ... he then asked “do you want to buy some ?”

If people are sheep, many conservatives are partly to blame. For eight years, their favorite retorts to those who warned about federal violation of our rights that "everything changed on 9-11" and "The Constitution is not a suicide pact." Now....some of the same folks who repeated these mantras are complaining that we have a nation of sheeple! Now....that's gall. What did they expect to happen?!
