We've produced a documentary movie about these clowns. As far as I'm concerned the whole charade is a complete sham. Call your congressman and don't let him off the hook until he promises to do something about it! Don't believe how bad they are? Check out www.pleaseremoveyourshoesmovie.com

1984... This is unconstitutional, and has been from the beginning. Thanks for burning the constitution, George W. Bushit...

This is the sort of thing that we CAN accomplish but we ALL have to do it. Everyone has to participate. Put your foot down! Let your voice be heard!

And then let your family bury what they believed to be your remains just because your new hot date doesn't want you to figure out that she has a penis from this body scanner

[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]Depends whose doing the initimate search.If it's that cute little blonde TSA girl I saw on a connecting flight through Atlanta earlier this year, she can stick her finger up my butt all she wants.[/citation]

Odds are it will be ex NFL Linemen with big sausage fingers. ouch

Leaving the USA? See ya later, but you won't find a more humanitarian and freedom focused country on this planet.

While I don't agree with these body scanners (I'd prefer they triple the amount of air marshals), they have a purpose and should be used to save lives.

Pedobears new job, either he scans your child's body, and saves up the pic's for later viewing, or you get molested by a intimate body search, he wins either way.

Here's a solution:

Have a bombproof booth that instead of X-raying you detonates any explosive device you may be carrying.

It would eliminate all privacy concerns, AND those long and
expensive trials.

I can see it now: You're in the airport terminal and you hear a
muffled explosion, followed by a PA announcement, "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number..."

i would be open to the idea of having 2 types of flights, flights with security and flights without security. then we'll let the chips fall where they may.

The fundamental flaw with the "we're doing this to keep you safe" argument is that I happen to know that I am not a terrorist. Scanning, probing, and/or checking my dental work doesn't make me feel safer, because I know I'm not a risk.

When they develop the "are you a homicidal maniac" scanner, let me know. Till then, the TSA routine is just like masturbation - it feels good for a while but doesn't accomplish a damn thing.

I really can't believe that's America. That's simply... absurd. That's fascism!

There are hydrogen train projects able to achieve (in theory) over 2000mph. Good enough to replace airplanes, don't you think?

Passengers, we can win this one! If every single person refuses the humiliating and dangerous virtual strip search, then TSA will be overwhelmed and completely unable to implement the threatened punishment of an invasive patdown.

Strip search me? Over my dead body is right. You can keep your radiation and your hands to yourself, TSA thugs!

Won't work. Terrorists would just sneak in unassembled bombs to assemble elsewhere.

[citation][nom]bejabbers[/nom]You people are ridiculous. They're not taking a naked picture of you, they're practically doing an MRI. I'd have no problem doing one of these scans. In fact, if you people care about national security, you should want everyone to go through these scans. There are weapons that can't be picked up on metal detectors and won't be sniffed out by dogs. Typical Americans, want everything but won't accommodate to anything.[/citation]

I would prefer to have concealed carry legalized on board. When was the last time someone blew up an airplane anyway? Hijacking is not possible anymore since they changed the cockpit doors. Most terrorist organizations are not interested in flying targets anymore. Its like the old saying that Generals are notorious for their tendency to "fight the last war" by using the strategies and tactics of the past to achieve victory in the present..

BTW

Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security.
