Normally, I don’t get riled up about political issues. The TSA body scan is another issue. Our government is asking us to submit to body scans that have harmful radiation, and if we opt out, we are essentially sexually molested before we travel. We teach our kids that no one should touch certain areas of our bodies, yet, this does not apply when they fly. This is an injustice. We are not criminals.
I am all about flight safety, I am. I don’t have words to express for the familes that lost the people they loved on September 11, the tragedy is too profound. I have a family member who worked in one of the Twin Towers, and luckily was at a dentist appointment that morning. She lost the lives of several of her co-workers. This tragedy personally touched my life.
I ask you why pilots, who fly the planes must be subjected to additional security measures, we trust them to fly the airplane, why do we not trust them pass through TSA?
I ask you why flight attendants who are in charge of our safety while in flight must be subjected touched in their private areas before they board the plane, ready to aide us should anything happen?
Why should our children be essentially sexually molested before they go to Disneyland, if we chose to opt out of a naked body scan?
Body scans flood our bodies with harmful levels of radiation that haven’t been fully tested.

Our constitutional rights are being violated. We haven’t been suspected of a crime when we step onto a plane, but yet, we are being treated as a criminal. Why?

This needs to be stopped – we aren’t the criminals. Time for the US citizens to stand up and let our voices be heard!
It’s a total false sense of security. An explosion in the parking area; lobby; or security line itself would have the same effect as if on the plane – and yet no one is scanning cars and people before they enter airport property.
Not only that but the ‘enhanced feel ups’ (ie pat downs) are only required at airports where the scanners are used and the passenger opts out; if it’s an airport w/out scanners then the ‘old’ pat down is sufficient…where’s the safety there? Come on now people *think* with your brains not your emotions.
