People who allow this to happen have given up their modesty, dignity and liberty. Saying “it’s no big deal” doesn’t make it so — that’s a rationalization for letting go of your rights so easily.

Aanyone who simply gripes about these body-scanners is just wasting electrons. Put your money into the jar: the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a respected organization long-involved in technology and privacy, is fighting the body-scanners.

Put in your $25; I just did.

TSA don’t pat down it’s a search there is a difference between pat down frisk. the are not cops and are not trained in the law. they shouldn’t be allowed to frisk.

he should have the right to refuse this procedure, and we should have alternatives to the search without involving pat downs or naked body scanning.. Face it you freaks we don’t have to put up with this!!

While traveling with my family this past summer, we had the unfortunate experience of being told to go through the Full Body Scan. My husband and I refused. You should have seen the expressions on the faces of the TSA employees! They were shocked that we wouldn’t act like sheep. The one told the other that I could take our two kids through the metal detector while my husband got patted down. All was fine. We weren’t terrorists, but the interesting thing about the experience was that my daughter had a bag of sand in her carry-on that was never checked or even questioned! So much for catching explosives! The whole process is a joke! Baaah! Baaah! We’re all just a bunch of sheep to them.

I had my own awful experience with the TSA when I “opted out” of the Whole Body Imager (in Atlanta). I refuse to be strip-searched just so that I might enjoy state to state travel.
