I believe they are saying that if you buy a ticket to get on a plane , you waive all rights to privacy.
I don’t have a problem with that, i have no intention of getting on one. A two week boycot of all planes flying would bring this BS to a screeching halt.

Push it up to SCOTUS..
We need a photoshop of the burning twin towers, one labeled “Fourth Amendment” and the other labeled “Second Amendment”
What's a Constitution again? Is it something with a bunch of laws we simply ignore now?
Naked scans of travelers are ipso facto unreasonable search under the Fourth Amendment.
If naked xray scanning is not unreasonable, what is? Bone biopsies?
These days I just don’t fly. I have amassed literally millions and millions of frequent flier miles over the years, so believe me, airlines must notice it. Everything about air travel is just to unpleasant now I just don’t do it.
If I can’t drive, these days I just don’t go.
This is like saying, “If you get on a freeway it is federal property and you are subject to naked strip searches.”
Or, If you go to Washing DC, it is federal property and you are subject to naked strip searches.”
Let's just stop and ponder this: arrested -- put in handcuffs -- God only knows what happened to the children -- with a friend, taken into custody? -- brought to jail; wastes half a day making bail; must appear in court; must pay lawyer; more lost time. Now has an arrest record and her travel plans are down the drain. All because she refused TSA's demand that she force her children to be exposed to strangers.
God bless this mother. God help us all. God damn this system.
TSA agents who step past the screening apparatus into the secure boarding area should have to be scanned or felt up each time they pass from the non-secure area to the secure area.
How can we trust them to NOT carry in a weapon and pass it to a terrorist? We can’t.
There are people from all walks of life and from all religions working for TSA in the secure areas. Just because they work for the TSA doesn’t mean they are trustworthy. Some have already been caught stealing and breaking the law.
All your naughty bits are belong to us.
This is a sad ruling closer to Plessey v Ferguson than Browder v Gayle.
The hard part is that you can opt for a full pat down. That means the scan is optional, and thus not a Constitutional issue as AFAIK pat downs are deemed acceptable.
I don’t fly anymore.
So . . . if we aren’t allowed our privacy to the point of forced indecent exposure, how is it that our privacy rights extend to the killing of innocent babies and are beyond the legal control of anyone but the woman getting an abortion?
Flight free since September 2002.
I was poked in my belly at the airport and almost blew up.
Told the missus that I was afraid of my reaction the next time this happens.So we drive, or don’t go. Period.
I flew a lot, but I don’t miss it. Even 9 years ago, ti was like being in a city bus , but in the sky. I remember a more genteel time for air travel. Now, it’s cattle car time. If you’re good, they MIGHT throw you a bag of peanuts. We’re still flying aircraft designed over 40 years ago. Someone call me when we have hypersonic flight.
I don’t care what the court says, we need legislators to stop this cold. This is unconstitutional search.
If this was the Founders’ generation, there would be a shooting war by now.
The TSA and Homeland Security are good only at beginning a police state—they are not protecting us nor securing our borders.
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
Federal Courts make all kinds of screwy decisions. That is why we have SCOTUS.
I have been reflecting on things the past several days. We had to put my mom in a nursing home last week. My sister and I were going through mom’s stuff that belonged to my dad. My dad was a Navy WW II Veteran. I don’t think America’s Greatest Generation would have fought and died for the crap that is going on here today.
Look it. This is just a stupid attempt to distroy the
airline industry so it can be easily taken over and
nationalized by the government. When all we have left is
our cars you wont be able to afford the gas and with the
smart grid coming, you wont be allowed to charge your car.
