I don’t understand where the constitutionalists are on this as an abridgement against the 4th amendment. We all want security, but these gestapo tactics to get people to comply to humiliating procedures is dangerous to our liberties. You’d think the ACLU would be on this, but....guess since it’s a Democratic administration pushing it, they’re not rocking the boat. If a Republican administration was pushing this they’d already be in court.

FWIW:
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey said in a press release they will stand alongside legislative leaders from both sides of the aisle to support a resolution asking the United States Congress to review new TSA screening procedures at airports that violate privacy, and provide little in the way of security enhancements.

“This technology involves a direct invasion of privacy,” said ACLU-NJ executive director Deborah Jacobs, “It produces strikingly graphic images of passengers’ bodies, essentially taking a naked picture of air passengers as they pass through security checkpoints.”

The ACLU maintains that the likely effectiveness of such a technology in preventing attacks does not justify the level of intrusion involved.
