Just boycott airports.
Maybe I should tie a Jingle Bell to my winkie.
John Pistole?
Did we vote for him?
What is his relationship(s) to the individuals and companies
that make these devices?
When will we be told what the ionizing radiation
exposure is to an individual from these machines?
“...he said a relatively small proportion of the 34 million people ...”
So Pistole thinks it’s OK to to have the Camel’s nose under the edge of the tent, and the Camel’s butt inside the tent!?
I think he has that backwards.
Get the Camel the “H” outta the tent.
He made the claim the other day that it was making us safer. He said with a smile, as he talked about the ink cartridges in the printer that were explosive. Never mind that had nothing to do with molesting passengers and virtual strip searches that would have never found the printer bomb.
In other news, Comrade Stalin advises all good comrades to submit to the KGB.
They don't like it one bit.
Stay home, hell why do you want to try and kill yourself traveling.
Hey Chief!
Perhaps your POLICY is a mistake!?!?!?
Anybody on this forum vote for Pistole? This guy could be impeached.
"Don't worry about it, sir. This is for your own good."
Not going to work.
A few years back Penn Jillette was fondled by a TSA screener, and he complained. The result? They made fondling part of the policy, legal. See the mentality?
If we boycott based on an option we have they’ll just make it mandatory.
That might be a suitable method for quality control on a production line, but neither he nor anyone else is attempting to manufacture passengers for airplanes.
The biggest problem with his method is that 90% or more of the terrorists it seeks to deter are making it through to get on board airplanes!
That situation is patently unacceptable!
- they plan to arrest anyone who isn’t a member of the religion of peace and who resists.
I don’t plan to fly on National Opt-Out Day, but I promise I will opt out whenever I fly. The genital grope takes much longer than the nude scan, so they’ll have to change the policy if enough of us opt out. I will let my groper know I believe they are conducting an illegal search under the 4th Amendment. I don’t have to risk the $11,000 fine or my job (if I can’t travel) by refusing both the scan and grope, but I can avoid penalties AND disrupt the system by electing the grope and taking my sweet time in the process. I encourage others to join me.
But don't delude yourself that this has anything to do with security of the flying public. They refuse to profile, they refuse to confront CAIR, and they refuses to back down from this invasive scanner.
We really need to undercut the authority the TSA is using, first and foremost, go to the county or city that runs the airport and get the laws changed to explicitly photograph the actions of screeners at airports. When they can't hide behind more theft and intimidation to cover up their thefts and intimidation, this can finally start to resolve.
And just remember, like the Orlando federal court house, these scanners are going to be deployed everywhere. Boycott flying? Sure, that's one idea, but do you deny yourself the ability to go into a court house? A federal building?
......then OPT OUT!!!!
If there was ever a sure thing, when a scammer or a criminal, or someone trying to steal your rights says, “It's not a good idea” then you know for certain that it is the best thing to do to accomplish your goal.
> “a relatively small proportion” of fliers have been subjected to government intrusions of a personal kind ...
Bullsquat! In the past week ever person from work who has travelled has been both scanned and groped.
