You did not mention the deleterious health effects of being exposed to additional x-rays and or concentrated radio waves. As an employee working for a major airline, I would not want to have the accumulated exposure to same as a condition of my employment. I’m sure that flight crews and frequent fliers feel the same way. As a Liberal progressive I also think that this is a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and that we are loosing some of our rights under the guise of the so-called “war on terrorism.” As strong and free Americans I feel that we can boldly face what the future brings and not cower or demonize other cultures. Terrorism will never be eradicated but can be reduced to manageable levels. Counter-terrorism does have to be an essential tool to help protect us though.

Why are subjects of the U.S.S.A. (that’s not a typo) required to assume a surrender position while being strip-searched? Seriously, this country has lost its collective will to live free of government intrusion. It’s NOT the government’s job to keep us safe; that’s OUR job. The government’s job is to protect our borders (at which they’re failing because they’re grossly negligent in their duties) and to PROTECT our RIGHTS (which they’re eroding rather than protecting).

Thanks for your information on full body scanners. What sorts of things that a full body scanner can find? How long does it take to be scanned?
