We don’t need naked body scanners to find explosives. The govenment lies about everything they do. They probably save the images to sell to perverts
at a big profit. It wouldn’t surprise me. In fact, they even admitted to saving
images. More control, that’s all it is. It never ends. Soon, it will be DNA samples when you walk through security. Wake up people.
We have a right to movement as human beings. Without being dehumanized
in the process.

“I’d love to drive, but I’ve never had time to do that. I have to fly to my vacation destination, vacation, fly back go to work. So yes, we do need to fly.”

No, you don’t need to fly! Buy a guidebook that covers your home town, state, or region. Spend some time reading it, and then plan a memorable vacation that does not require flying. I can almost guarantee that there are any number of wonderful places within a day’s journey from your home, if you’d only take a little time to find out about them. And it’s a whole lot of fun to do that!

I can understand why so many of us are brainwashed to believe that we need to fly. For many years flying was a simple, convenient, and even enjoyable way to quickly go just about anywhere in the world. The result is that we have come to unthinkingly associate a vacation with flying. And we have become completely blind to the treasures that are in our own neighborhoods. But those days are gone forever. Now that flying has become a form of torture, it’s time to open our eyes and rethink our notions of vacationing.

Yes, there are times when we have no choice. If a trip involves business or far-flung family, enduring air travel is indeed a necessity. But when there is a choice, an ENJOYABLE mixture of research and creativity will surely reveal a plethora of great places to visit that are accessible by car, train, bus, boat, bicycle, or foot.

There seems to be nothing we can do about what airlines and the TSA increasingly inflict on us. It’s an unchangeable reality of economics and politics over which we have no control. The one and only thing we can do is to follow Nancy Reagan’s advice and “just say no” to flying. Give it a try. You may find you enjoy your vacation a whole lot more when it doesn’t begin and end with an ordeal!

Do we really need to fly? Yes. If you only have a 1 week vacation, you don’t have time to drive across the country. I’d love to drive, but I’ve never had time to do that. I have to fly to my vacation destination, vacation, fly back go to work. So yes, we do need to fly. However, I don’t want someone in a back room getting a look at my fat pudgy ugly naked body and laughing and making jokes and calling in his buddies to get a look at that ugly broad, then talking about it over beers that night. They say the guy in the back room doesn’t see faces, but we know guys don’t even bother looking at a woman’s face, they just need the neck down. How do we know that guy in the viewing room isn’t getting his rocks off with an endless stream of naked bodies on the screen? As for not allowing recording devices into the viewing room… Is that security officer going thru this strip naked machine to make sure he isn’t carrying something on him? Because you KNOW that some guy’s going to get something into that room just in case someone famous goes thru and they can get a pic. How long before those photos show up on the front page of the National Enquirer? I base this on the case of some guy in charge of the security cameras in an office building that used the overhead camers to look down women’s shirts. So what’s to keep some guy from having a lot of fun with a strip naked machine? They say it’s for my protection, but to quote the King of Siam, “Might they not protect me out of all I own.”

It’s all part of preparing people psychologically for the loss of their last personal freedoms. You personal space is now ‘legitimately’ invaded. You computer can be examined and the hard drive copied when you go through airports. If you have anything on it that is liable to criminal convictions, like some undisclosed tax matter, you will be prosecuted the TSA say. Adult porn is not illegal on your laptop if you are transporting it through airports. I don’t want my wife or my daughters to appear nude in front of some man, call me old fashioned but my family will not be using air transport. If everyone boycotted these machines then it would make it harder to implement the NEXT step in enslavement. Do you really need to fly? Really?

Saying that full body scanners is necessity is a FALSEHOOD.
It’s against privacy rights!
And radiation waves can brake DNA
If TSA wants to protect people against terrorist, why is not using other technology for example EMD bracelets??
Is safe, cheap, no pornography involved.
Why TSA doesn’t use EMD bracelet?
Probably as usually, if we do not know why, hidden money are behind.

Joe, just to set the record straight, the strip search scanner doesn’t use x-rays. I uses millimeter waves, which are basically radio signals that are not known to harm male gonads. The scanners pose no health or safety risk.

However, the “skanky lowlife” is another matter entirely. But I suspect the TSA leadership are on their knees thanking Allah for answering their prayers with the latest “underwear bomber.” The strip search scanner very likely would have detected the bomb (assuming the screeners are doing their job properly when they “check out your shlong,” which is a rather dodgy assumption). That argument should be sufficient to immediately demolish all concerns about privacy, and perhaps even secure funding from Congress to get the scanners more widely deployed. I don’t think the TSA’s PR flaks could have come up with any better way to get the public clamoring to be strip searched before every flight.
