Revolt against TSA: Ban the body scanner?

A groundswell of anger has rippled through the nation's airports: People are not happy about the body scanner security systems.
While The Post's Andrea Sachs (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/04/AR2010020402882.html?sid=ST2010020402909) did not find the procedure too invasive when she tested the new technology ("I found it comforting to know that the body scanner would uncover items missed by older equipment and that we travelers have one more layer of protection against those exceedingly crafty terrorists."), other people have not been so happy with the experience.
Some people are bothered by the idea of a stranger seeing the naked outlines of their body, others worry about the images being stored. Another complaint is that if you opt out of a scan, you're subjected to a pat-down that has gotten a wee too invasive for some folks. "One US Airways pilot said he felt as though he had been "sexually molested" by the pat down," Mike Cleary, president of the US Airline Pilots Association, told USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2010-11-11-scanners11_ST_N.htm).
Some people are planning a National Opt Out Day for Nov. 24. Fliers are supposed to opt out of having a body scan or not travel at all. The Web site writes, "You should never have to explain to your children, 'Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee, then it's OK.' "
Meg McLain (http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212332272.shtml), a radio host, went on the program "Free Talk Live" and said she had been handcuffed and harassed when refusing to use the body scanners. The Transportation Security Administration released security camera footage that appears to contradict at least some of her claims, as she is not handcuffed in the footage.
The angry fliers have professional support: The unions at American Airlines and US Airways have advised their 14,000 members to avoid the scanners and opt for the pat-downs.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a lawsuit July 2 to stop the installation of more scanners at airports in the United States, saying the procedure was "unlawful, invasive and ineffective."
TSA, meanwhile, contends the body scanners are safe and necessary. "Advanced imaging technology safely screens passengers for metallic and nonmetallic threats including weapons, explosives and other objects concealed under layers of clothing without physical contact to help TSA keep the traveling public safe," an entry on the administration's blog reads (http://blog.tsa.gov/search/label/advanced%20imaging%20technology).

At some point folks have to realize that flying is not a right. While I agree that there needs to be some common ground. Buy purchasing a ticket you are giving consent to be searched. Your civil rights are not being violated. The only concern I have about this is I use a hidden pocket to carry large sums of money. I don't want to have to be pulled aside and searched extra because I am carrying a lot of cash on me.

[Apos]

Personally I don't really care as I have nothing to hide.

I also have hidden/inside zippered pockets in some pants and carry cash there but always well under the legal limit so I do not have to declare it and if I get searched...no big deal.

My last couple of flights, and I've made dozens and do what I can to reduce hassle and the chances of needing to be searched, I was searched/wanded almost every time I went thru customs...2 times each way even though I had no metal on me and minimal cash. There were no body scanners at the airports I used.

My understanding is that they are in only a few major airports in the US and almost none in Canada although they have plans for Toronto. I last flew in May so I'm sure things have changes some.

[Klockman]

Anyone that spends that kind of money, gets to see me naked.

The trauma that causes, is between those that see and their therapists

Seriously, I don't give it any thought, there so many other things that annoy me more when it comes to flying.

the machines don't bug me

As long a you are not carrying over $10,000 U.S you don't have to declare it and even if for some reason you wanted to bring more than that just declare it and say it is to help with the relief effort in Haiti :lol::lol:

[Mr. Smooth]

I first went through a body scanner last December before boarding my flight to Bangkok. I spoke with a TSA employee and told him how much better I liked this than going through the old way. I have a plate and screws in my right leg and I usually trip the x-ray machine thereby getting the full pat down service before going to my gate.

He told me that it was an experiment and only installed in a half dozen airports nationwide. Obviously, they have popped up in many other airports since then.

I have no problems with it. It seemed more fluid getting through as I didn't have to take my off my shoes or belt. More customer friendly IMO.

I have no issues with privacy. The doctor saw me naked when I was born and the coroner will see me naked when I'm dead. And many chicas will see me naked inbetween.

[vewdew]

Charlotte North Carolina I went tru scanner waited for the result, result was positive and got the pat down, and nothin found on my body.

So draw your own conclusion now that they say its is "unlawful, invasive and ineffective."

To me it was ineffective since I got the pat down after the scanner.

[MrHappy]

Hey, I don't have a problem going through the full body scanner. With my little weenie, everybody deserves to have a laugh or two..

(cue the little weenie full scan video)

[ralphie1]

i dont care about scanning or a pat down either for that matter. just be efficient about it and keep the line moving

what i dont like, and really needs work on, is being separated from my carry on and laptop and the dog dish with documents, passport and cash as i understand when going thru the scanner, nothing is allowed in your pockets, not even your cash

[Hoseman]

I had a SINGLE PIECE of gum in my shirt pocket and they had me put it in a bowl (the aluminum foil set off the machine) I said you got to be kidding me, he just smiled and said No. So a single piece of gum got the full teatment. LOL
They go overboard esp with all paper CASH and even passport need to go through &thats just bullshit, noone needs to know how much cash I have on me if its under 10K so I wonder if they record that shit somehow with the passport # for possibly future reference , call me paranoid.
But as you said as long as they keep it moving, im A ok with it.
I DO like the part about not having to take off my shoes with these scanners, that does restore a little DIGNITY so it kind of balances it out IMO. I dont cross dress or smuggle Sausages so I got nothing to be ashamed of, if some Woman or even gay dude wants a cheap thrill , hey knock yourself out honey.

[ralphie1]

i guess i put my cash in my pocket folded over with a rubber band and see what happens. still doesnt make me feel good about watching my laptop go down the line with my passport, ticket and wallet with a few credit cards in it

i guess i will really start to worry when the DR starts scanning. kiss the loose money and the likes good bye

btw, the gum thing, i ALWAYS make sure the gum goes in the dog dish. take my glasses off, my watch off , then my wallet wont set things off

[Hoseman]

They were doing it randomly.I think I must be flagged They had the Dog go through mys stuff on my way back to the States in Miami When they did not find anything they gave me some bullshit excuse saying someone touched my gym shoes that had been smoking weed

[JD426]

Those dogs should be sniffing for explosives, not weed. Dammmn they got their priorities FUCKED up....wtf is wrong with these people.
Fucking mexican border, and you are comin back with your RV, ok sniff for weed, but a carry on, just how much weed are they expecting to find ? damn that pisses me off. These is absolutely NO logic to any of this shit.. Thats why the general public is getting fed up .
Take away my nail clippers, but then u give me a knife and a glass bottle of wine with my meal. I swear they are all fucking retarded.

[Mr. Smooth]

Some of these TSA people do get off at the power they have over ordering people in line. They seem to think they are the equivalent of the Secret Service or something. To me, they are nothing more than a glorified mall cop. And some of the women!! Jeezus! Loud, abrasive, obnoxious. It's their way of getting back at society, especially to the guys standing in line, for having been passed over in the game of love. Power goes to their head and they revel in it as a respite to the rest of their miserable, lonely lives.

If technology is available that will allow me to get through security with as little contact as possible with these people, I'm all for it.

[Tiger]

Hey Hoseman, Do they have then in DTW yet?

It's hard to believe but they let knitting needles on planes. I have seen it and my wife has taken them on. I would think you could do some serious damage with a metal or even wooden knitting needle.

I also wonder where they came up with the 3 oz. bottle limit. Each container must only be 3 oz or less but you can take as many of the 3 oz. bottles as you want. Plus......3 oz of bad stuff can do allot of damage.

[Tiger]

As far as the body scan or pat down.......what ever is quicker. Neither one bothers me if it helps stop the bad guys. I think the scan would be faster so I will go with that.

The rules are hysterical. I had a baseball bat confiscated. A NERF baseball bat I bought for an ex's kid. I was also traveling with a guitar at the time and asked the TSA dope which is a better weapon? A NERF bat or a heavy ass piece of mahagony. . . . actually I think it was swamp ash. . . .lol . ..

In miami a few months back there was only one scanner. Only 1st class people went through it and only 50% of them. Any dopey terrorist would just get on the coach line or walk to another terminal.

It would not be hard to have the software convert the 3D render into wireframe or a spline patch and just show any items that may require further examination. I guess 2.0

[JD426]

The 3 oz bottle limit is the biggest crock of shit... they take away my gatorade bottle or cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee etc ( if Im drinking it, guess what, its probably not a dangerous liquid) , just so I have to buy it again at an inflated price inside the food court, all to protect me .:rolleyes: Im guessing whoever had the inside track on this shit, heavily invested in the Airport food court concession business and is now getting filthy rich. The lines are incredible. Its a huge cash Cow.

[TONYTNT40]

I dont mind the scanner, I like it much better than, the puffer. I hated the puffer, because I didnt like the idea, that they were blowing air, or whatever up my ass. I think, all of it is a crock of shit, because I am allowed a lighter and a razor in my carry on, but no mouthwash or toothpaste. To my recollection both items were used to screw up a plane.

[Hoseman]

Hey Hoseman, Do they have then in DTW yet?Yes they do.They did it randomly.

[mikelodge]

Yes they do.They did it randomly.

Nobody left a good job to work for TSA as an airport screener.

I had a little time on my hands on one trip and when the TSA guy tried to confiscate my Bic after the rules changed I asked for his supervisor with whom I discussed the printout of the new contraband list I brought on the trip. You'd have thought I pissed on the guys Mom's church shoes. What a Dumas!

it gets WORSE... Janet Napolitano http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano (The homeland security Dike biatch) Made a statement that she is considering EXEMPTIONS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN ( with respect to the pat downs) ... because they are more "modest" !? I dont even know how to touch that statement right there.
.... trying to find a clip of this to see if its true. It was talked about at length on the Radio yesterday..
They are not going to have to worry about bombs, cause my HEAD is going to fucking EXPLODE if this is in fact true.. What twilight Zone have we entered. I feel like im in some kind of Bad Dream and I cant wake up.

These are the same muslin women who are experimenting with breast implants filled with explosives.

Folks like Janet simply do not have a clue.........

A terrorism expert says the invasive screening procedures demanded by the Obama-run Transportation Security Administration would do almost nothing to stop a determined terrorist because they already are experimenting with inserting explosives in a body cavity or even surgically implanting the destructive charges.

The comments come from Brigitte Gabriel, who is the founder of Act! For America (http://www.actforamerica.org/), a 150,000-strong group that works to warn Americans against the dangers of militant Islam and the Muslims who follow it.

She also is a member of the board of advisers for the Intelligence Summit, and she lectures internationally on global terrorism.

Join more than 17,000 others in a petition demanding action against the intrusive airport screening procedures implemented by Janet Napolitano (http://www.wnd.com/airportscreening) and send a letter to Congress, President Obama and others telling them exactly what you think about the issue. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=226969)

The issue has hit a flashpoint in the last few days as newly installed TSA procedures demand that airline passengers submit to a full-body scanning machine that generates an essentially nude image of the passenger for TSA workers to see, or a full-body pat-down that includes what critics have called "groping" of private parts of the body.

"These procedures are not effective at all with terrorists," Gabriel told WND in an interview today. "If a true terrorist wants to go blow up an airplane, these machines will not detect it."

She said like drug dealers already have proven, substances hidden inside body cavities or even embedded surgically remain undetected by any or all of the TSA's procedures.

"If al-Qaida is planning against the U.S. multiple attacks in a day, in multiple airplanes, it could duplicate 9/11," she told WND. "Al-Qaida is testing inserting breast implants, stuffing breast implants with explosives."

She said a woman then could go into an airplane restroom and use a syringe similar to those used by diabetic patients to trigger an explosion that would disintegrate a modern jet.

"This is what al-Qaida is resorting to, and they're exploring surgery for men," she warned. "They want to implant explosives inside the body.

"Terrorists are conditioned and trained to blow themselves up, to become suicide bombers," she said. "They are ready to die to go to heaven to meet Allah."

It was last February (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=123758) that the special intelligence report Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin (http://g2.wnd.com/) documented the same circumstances Gabriel described.

At that time, it was revealed in the special report that intelligence agents for Britain's MI5 service found that Muslim doctors trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals had returned to their own countries to fit surgical implants filled with explosives.

The report documented that women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida were known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up.

The report said similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in a buttock. Both are parts of the body that diabetics use to inject themselves with their prescribed drugs.

The report at the time quoted Jonathan Evans, head of MI5, saying, "Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. You would need to subject a suspect to a sophisticated X-ray. Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."

Experts confirmed in the report that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN when activated would blow "a considerable hole" in a jet airliner, guaranteeing a crash.

Gabriel, who has addressed former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, members of Congress, the Joint Forces Staff College, the U.S. Special Operations Command, the FBI and members of the British Parliament, said the only accurate way to spot terrorists is to use the profiling techniques used in Israel, which despite being a major target for terrorism, has a substantially safe airline industry.

"They know how to profile, ask the right questions. This is what it's going to take," she said. "We need to throw political correctness in the garbage where it belongs. This is the time for the public to rise up and demand public officials to come up with ways to identity the threats by name."

Gabriel, who is author of the New York Times best-seller "Because they hate: A survivor of Islamic terror warns America," and "They Must Be Stopped: Why we must defeat radical Islam and how we can do it," was a news anchor for "World News," the Arabic evening news broadcast for Middle East Television seen throughout Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. She covered the Israeli withdrawal from Central Lebanon, the Israeli Security Zone and the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza. Her work was international in scope, bringing her in contact with world figures such as Margaret Thatcher, George H. Bush Sr., Itshak Rabin, Shimon Perez and Ariel Sharon.

She moved to the U.S. in 1989 and founded a television production company that worked with "The Today Show," "Oprah," "Dr. Phil" and others.

She told WND in Israel, terror experts are trained to watch for eye movements, breathing rates and other physical indicators that a "passenger" is more than just that.

Even something as simple as a cologne or perfume can be an indicator, she said, because terrorists essentially are preparing themselves to enter heaven.

Those factors can pinpoint a potential terrorist whether they are dark-skinned and named Mohammed or they are six-foot-tall, blue-eyed, blonde holders of American passports, she said.

The current TSA demands "insult our intelligence," she said. "It's nothing more than window dressing. … The American public must come together and revolt against these procedures. The Obama administration has failed in identifying our problem. The administration is not paying attention to terrorism."

She called out Obama even for his decisions to eradicate references such as "Islamic terrorist," "jihad" and "Islamic radicals" from the speech of the government.

"How on earth can we win against the jihadists if we are afraid to identify them by name," she said.

Watch Adam Savage showing proof of the ineptitude/inefficacy/idiocy of the TSA's practices at airport security checkpoints. He's not the first. Plenty of people have similar stories, even going through body scanners with knives. Clearly, we need other security policies.

Preferably some that don't make parents take off the shirt of their kids out of pure frustration.

TSA has a "mission" ??? OK, well I feel much safer now, just like when I am watching little Einsteins with my 3 year old Nephew. June ,Quincy Leo and Annie , they are always on a Mission too, and it always turns out for the best...... Yeagh, just like that.

Tsa your safety is our priority, and you can choose to opt out and we will delay your fuckin ass till your flight departs, CAUSE WE CAN.

that should be theyr new moto.

[Apos]

They're not my favorite bunch either, TSA. I find them to be pointlessly, in fact needlessly, heavy-handed, arrogant and rude. Walking in a line and going through a metal detector and your stuff through the xray should not have to be such a miserable and uncomfortable experience. I understand that their jobs may suck and that they are not all that well paid but so are a lot of other people and most of them/us manage to be pleasant.

Let me tell you guys something. I've been working with radiation for many years and I can honestly tell you the machines WILL have adverse effects on you. If you value your ability to reproduce or plain cum for that matter don't go thru the scanners. Think about it. They go behind a wall when they scan you. Can you operate a microwave wiu the door open???

[Count]

We haven't gotten this right in Canada. Yesterday I was given the option of pat down or scanner. I chose scanner to try it out, thinking it would be faster. The process took a full 12 minutes AFTER I had gone through the scanner because whoever was in the back had to look at my image, such as it is.
