Last weekend, a Tennessee woman was arrested at the Nashville airport for disorderly conduct after she refused TSA security measures for her children. The woman didn’t want her two children to have to go through a whole-body-imaging scanner. When a Transportation Security Administration officer told her the machines were safe, she said, “I still don’t want someone to see our bodies naked.”
She won’t be pleased with a ruling then out of the D.C. Circuit today. This morning, the federal court ruled that the “naked scans” of air travelers do not violate Americans’ constitutional rights. Privacy rights group EPIC had sued the Department of Homeland Security, alleging violations of innocent passengers’ Fourth Amendment right to be free of unreasonable searches. The court says that argument doesn’t fly...

The courts need to guess again.
can someone please explain to me exactly why the scanners show ANYTHING that is not man made??? anything like soft tissue show not show up at all.
it's s simple filter routine to not display anything in the color range of soft tissue... it's not rocket science
That's around the last time I flew as well. Hearing of the complaints, seeing the overreach I'm just not that interested. I used to love flying.
I asked myself, with all this security theater how many perps has TSA caught?
Give Ginsburg a break. He might have been high when he wrote the opinion.
If their country of origin renders them too dangerous to board American airplanes,then wouldn’t that make them too dangerous to set foot in the USA, let alone become citizens?
You know the answer. Zero.
Federal Courts make all kinds of screwy decisions. That is why we have SCOTUS.
They suffer from “bomb the plane” psychosis ~ they walk around fine ~ and should be encouraged to do so.
Imagine that happens in 5 spots in the country simultaneously.
Would shut down all air travel for a week, and then they could do it again.
The TSA is a welfare program for the cretins that "work" for it, not our welfare.
These goons cant stop jack shit from happening if the ragheads decide to attack the terminals, which are undefended.
I was trying to think of how to express my sentiments on the total disregard these Federal courts show for the Bill of Rights.
Your comment suffices perfectly...
Join the club. Saw this coming and haven’t flown since June, 2002. Every single month it just gets worse.
I thought we just had to wear a burka and we were excused? Is that just a rumor?
Until YOU people in the industry rise up and stop it, I feel absolutely no pity for you.
Stopped flying myself in June, 2002. Used to spend around 3-5 thousand a year flying. That’s 30,000 to 50,000 thousand you haven’t gotten from me alone because of this crap.
Read my tagline. If that isn’t a police state in action, then what is it?
Bin Laden may be dead but his legacy lives on...
“I believe they are saying that if you buy a ticket to get on a plane , you waive all rights to privacy.”
I believe they are saying that if you buy a ticket to get on a plane , you waive all rights. all rights.
Ding,ding,ding, we have a winner.
What you said amplified a THOUSAND TIMES !!
When will the sheeple wake up?
