I expect the 61% opposition to rise to 80% region post-holiday experience!
We need to deploy legal team to document violation of constitutional protections.
If there is not an immediate legal basis for challenge, then citizens have to decide if they want to remain free, and if so, commit to sacrificing economically, socially and possibly physically (incarceration, and bloodshed) to obtain and sustain that freedom. pure and simple
So, I'll use this latest travesty of security as a reason to not make such questionable trips in the future, or to give stronger consideration to alternative means of transportation.
This should be GREAT for the air travel industry! /s
Actaully - I’m done - by the time I arrive at the airport - sit and wait to make sure I have enough time to make it through TSA - flight delays (if any and rare) - make my flight - land - and drive to my final destiniation. A few more hrs of driving and Iw oudl have been there in my own vehicle at my own pace - saved a bunch of money - and brought things that I otherwise wouldn’t be allowed - and didn’t have to pay for extra baggage or throw some liquid away. I fly twice a month and have been all year. Starting DEC - I’m driving...

"That was easy! Look, pa! I got me an airline industry!"
The scanner machines are made by a George Soros Company. Obama is destroying the airline industry to satisfy George Soros.
I’m confused. I was told that we’re all loving it.
Can someone tell me why we can’t make a list of those who CAN fly? It seems to me that if: one is a citizen and has been for decades, is a frequent (5 / life) flyer, had no interaction w/ a Moslem or Arab country, has voted for five or more times in US elections. . . he should be listed on this ‘CAN fly’ list. This would even save money. . . lots of it, but what it would not do is to build up the TSA / labor union strength which is the ‘RATs goal above all things. I, for one,
am trying to figure out how to get to New Zealand next year without flying.
Geez, and just yesterday ABC news was reporting that over 90% of fliers approved.
Wow what a difference a day makes. /s
Hopefully a 48% drop in passenger ticket sales will spur the airports to realize sooner rather than later that they have the freedom to throw the TSA out of their airports and use private security firms with methods that make sense and work (Israeli).
Otherwise that kind of decline will cause them to go under and give oblunder an excuse to bailout the “too big to fail” airline industry and totally take over control. I think this is the plan anyway.
Just saw the Obama Defense Team on MSNBC touting a poll that 70% think it is fine and dandy.

I spotted the propaganda designed to frustrate people into thinking opposition was hopeless. Nonsense polls were part of that, most atrocous among them was the CBS bucket of lies.
This issue is a defining one. Trust me, there are people who would rather have a root canal and a colonoscopy the same day than watch their loved ones porno scanned and fondled. This violates our personhood. Napolitano put this hack Pistoles out here to be a lightning rod.
The only vote we have is not to fly.
39% of people are scared sheep that do what they’re told. I suspect these same lamers supported the bank bailouts.
Wonder what 61% Oppose Full Body Scans say if a plane went down because of no scan?if one wants to fly you have to deal with it.If you don’t want to deal with take a bus,train.car but for christ sake stop the whining.
I think it rather sad that only 61% of Americans oppose unreasonable searches without probable cause.
Politicians Who Own Stakes in Airport Scanner Companies
By Elizabeth MacDonald

So which elected officials own stakes in full-body scanning machines now in more than 60 U.S. airports? And what are those individual investments worth?
We still can’t connect the dots to say that, because these Congressmen invested in these tech companies, than, ipso facto, those scanners were then put in place at airports across the country, now the subject of controversy.
But the Center for Responsive Politics says it’s done the legwork and after reviewing the most recent personal financial disclosure filings, found eight members of Congress — three Democrats and five Republicans – who owned at least $2,000 worth of stock in L-3 Communications, which is a government contractor purportedly involved in the full-body scanning machines.
The watchdog group says Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) owns the most stock in L-3 Communications — with a minimum investment of at least $500,000 and a maximum value of $1 million. Congressional financial disclosure forms allow Congressmen to report their assets in broad ranges.
