Body scanners that give a virtual strip show, gropings that so intimate, you'd go to jail if you weren't a government official. All of these punishments, normally reserved for prisoners, await the law abiding public. It is easily deductible that these invasive pat-downs are designed to be as uncomfortable as possible in order to "encourage" people to go through the scanners. Isn't funny how these scanners became so readily, if not expensively, available? Underwear bomber - POOF - Nekkid scanners!
Well if invasion of your privacy isn't that much of a concern; if you have nothing to hide, then let's put cameras in your bedroom. It's dignity and privacy people. It's no longer about 9/11, it's about getting you to comply with a federal agency, and if you don't, well... you can drive cross-country to that meeting. Don't believe me? Let's hear what the TSA workers have to say...
Now if you want to fly, suck it up and accept that you have to submit to the security procedures. Yes you think they are stupid or unnecessary but TSA officers and TSA don’t care what you think. They try to make it all warm and fuzzy but they can’t because it is security not a trip to Disney World. Shut up and get in the scanner or don’t fly.
November 24th is National Opt-Out Day. On this day, anyone, everyone can opt-out and get felt up. The point is to make it inconvenient for TSA agents, to make it obnoxious. Of course, you'd want to plan ahead while traveling. As you can image I fully support this civil disobedience. There should be more. There should be revolts against this security theater. That's what it is. It doesn't increase security. Israel, goes about it differently. They make it unobtrusive yet very effective.
At least this gives me a bit more hope. Americans are beginning to take a stand. Let's hope it's not too late. We've seen the rise of the tea parties, Ron Paul, and now a backlash against TSA. Individual rights make us more secure and free, not a bigger government.
