If the TSA wants to fondle passengers, consumers should boycott the airlines
Just when you think the government couldn’t get more intrusive, they come up with another way to violate its citizens. First, we had body scanners that give a somewhat revealing picture of those who pass through it. Now, we have “security checks” that border on sexual assault.
In this video, a woman recounts her experience going through security at a U.S. airport with her children. She decided to opt-out of the full body scan because of fears about radiation and the images that would be produced. Instead, the male security officer groped her body, including her genitals and breasts. After he was finished with her, he wanted to move on to her daughters. Please check out this video. Should this be happening in the United States?
My only solution is to boycott the airlines. If the government is going to continue this sort of intrusive search, then consumers should find an alternate means of transportation.

Airport security measure violates child porn laws?
I have an important message for you, and it’s very important that you read it slowly and understand it completely. Here it goes: There are people out there called terrorists, and they like to kill people, often by blowing them up. We need to do everything we can to stop the terrorists and protect innocent people.
You might think that message is simplistic and goes without saying. If you feel this way, you probably have an IQ over 50. Unfortunately, there are too many people in the world who are terribly out of touch and don’t understand the reality of the world. This type of (or lack of) thinking is displayed perfectly on the topic of using body scanners at airports. As you may know, a terrorist linked to Al-Qaeda attempted to blow up a plane with 300 people on Christmas. You would think that this act would be enough to convince people of the dangers we face, but obviously, it’s not enough. » read more

We need whole body imaging scanners
It’s hard to believe there are still some who believe we don’t need whole body imaging scanners. You would think that the attempted terrorist attack that nearly killed 300 passengers would have been enough to convince people. I know that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano believes “the sytem worked,” but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The terrorist who attempted the latest attack was allowed to fly, despite being on a terrorist watch list, and he had displayed some questionable behavior. There was more than enough reason to be suspicious, but “the system” failed. The only things that saved the 300 passengers on that plane were a poorly trained terrorist and a brave passenger. » read more
