I have searched online and have seen the images that these various scanners can produce.

And trust me they are very graphic. More so for a man then a woman. You can see everything the balls the penis, pervs could have a field day with this. With that been said i think i would have the scan they have someone messing around by my junk.

I wonder if people realize that this is a major victory for terrorism. Also people who say that this has no adverse effects is just a plain idiot. Remember how that one famous anesthetic for women in labor was also considered to have zero negative effects? Then 'lo and behold a decade later it turns out retarded children are born because of it.

If people are not comfortable with flying then use the bus, train or car. Hey, that is just my opinion. I know for a fact that this is there for security reasons and to prevent deaths.

It is sad that things have to turn out this way

Because you know, bombing never happens on buses or trains.... oh wait... Buses got blown up in London? Trains in Madrid? Can't wait to get a healthy dose of cancer at the metro/bus stations.

P.S. A woman TSA official grabbing my junk wouldnt be too problematic either, to be honest. It'll probably be more uncomfortable for her than for me. As long as someone else is worse off than me I'm happy.

One question I would ask the people who support this sort of technology being used against the people is, why NOW all of a sudden is this stuff necessary when we were just fine without it for several decades? And PLEASE do not mention 9/11 or 7/7 because I can write you a novel filled with overwhelming evidence that those were false flag attacks in order to gain support for a new level of imperialism, illegal wars, and increased government power over the people.

This folks, is what the bullshit "war on terror" brings on us, and why it should be exposed for the fraud that it is, before all of our liberties are taken away. This is just another way to control people and undermine them. You may laugh now but I guarantee you it'll only get worse and worse unless something changes.

This may sound like overreacting, but keep in mind, authoritarian governemnts don't just come all at once. It is a small progression in order to get people aquainted to the shift so that by the time we realize all our liberties are gone, it'll be too late.

Great post. I agree with just about everything you said. End of the day the terrorists have no power over us and it is not them that are taking away our rights. The said thing is that it is our elected politicians which are entrusted to preserve our freedoms that are turning our countries into police states.

Regarding the body scanners I will refuse to be scanned by them as I would rather be patted down. If I wanna get scanned I will only do so for medical reasons.

It's a shame more people don't speak out about this and other issues related to civil liberties but it seems most people are happy to have their rights taken away as long as they have a job and can pay their bills.

I'd bet many of the people who make unreasonable charges about these "invasions of privacy" probably sound the trumpets for the most immodest ideals of sexuality as it is.

If they want to scan me or pat me down when I am freely choosing to use their services, so be it. It's their game, they make the rules. If I got a problem with it, I'll approach it maturely in regards to solving the problem. Whose complaints would you be more likely to consider, the guy who says "I think you're going too far" or the guy who says "This is a conspiracy to control people and the government is more of a threat than terrorists because they can scan my body or pat down my genital area before I enter a plane"? If you want your grievances considered, it would be best to approach it maturely and not over-react and roll it into fight-the-power extremes.

Of course not all who oppose this are saying things that make you wonder if they're wearing alluminum foil on their heads; those are the people whose complaints I actually take the time to consider.

How many people died in terrorist attacks in the US in the last 10 years? 3,000 something.

How many people died in car accidents in the same period? Hundreds of thousands.

Yet, people get all freaked out about flying, to the point they'll let a stranger grope their balls/tits or go through a virtual strip search which pumps radiation into your skin, without any proof that these measures actually prevent terrorist attacks. It's just insane.

Hope you enjoy your emerging police state. Bin Laden must be laughing his ass off at all this insanity.

Yea I know. BY the way you owe me 50 bucks for the show.

Airports should just be the new nude colony.
