The whole thing is that we ALL TOGETHER can do something about this!!
The ONLY way we can do something about this is to stop flying altogether. Money talks; people complaining on message boards (or even writing a letter to the airport manager) does not.
If enough people simply stop flying, airline revenues will plummet and they will use their not-inconsiderable influence to beat the TSA into sanity-ville.
I don't fly unless I'm forced to for my job. And I laugh at their "security theater" when I do fly. It certainly does not make me feel safer.
Did any of you watch the Evening News tonight. There was an interview with the head of security over in Israel and they have NO scanning. They personally screen every flyer and have not had a breach in their security in 8 years. The "interviewers" are tested every so often with a person wearing dummy explosives, and if the interviewer does not sense something wrong in the 30 minute interview and lets this person pass they are fired on the spot.
I personally do not have a problem with scanners but I realize and respect those who do, there are other alternatives to flying such as train (wonderful way to travel if you have the time), split the driving time with someone else, there is Grey Hound.
What is the problem if the person who views the scans sits in a separate room and never actually sees you?
Personally, I dont have any problem with a full scan if the person is in another room looking at my giblits ; I just dont want anyone touching my junk on a pat-down.
Would you rather go through a body scan or fly in a plane that explodes?
Blame the terrorists.
Oh for crap's sake. You have a better chance of being HIT BY FREAKIN' LIGHTNING than being killed by a terrorist attack. Sheep like you are why our civil rights are being eroded at an exponential rate.
Management at Orlando International announced today the privatization of security, my daughter just told me, looking for a link to the story on one of the Orlando news stations.
On second thought, I think I will buy a plane ticket...I want a young, tall, guy to give me some. Bring on the "grope". It will be the most I have had in years. Can I pick the one I want to feel me betwen the legs, and pat down my chest?...Shucks, just writing this is getting me quite hot... I am looking forward to my next flight...
