Wanna Get Really Pi$$ed???

Airport body scanners reveal all, but what about when it's your kid?

quote:

There's been lots of talk lately about body scanners — the new airport security tool that allows screeners to see through clothes. People are concerned about privacy, delayed flights, health effects.

Now there's another concern. What about kids? Do they have to go through this, too? And what are parents' rights?

A Baltimore family is raising the issue after their 12-year-old daughter was pulled out of line in Tampa and subjected to what they say was an embarrassing and unhealthy scan. The girl was traveling with an adult friend of the family, not her parents.


I have some advice for the parents. SUE THE TSA AND KEEP THIS IN THE PUBLIC EYE DAILY UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. DO YOU KNOW WHO IS LOOKING AT YOUR NAKED CHILD IN THE MONITORING ROOM??

When you are told that the TSA screens it's employees thoroughly and that you should not worry, remember THIS ...oh...and THIS....oh....and that they are TRAINED PROFESSIONALS....and also THIS but most of all DON'T FORGET THIS.

Let me see if I have this right.

2 million passengers per day (in the US only) for the past 9 years (since 9/11) equals about 6.5 BILLION passengers.

One nut tries to blow up a plane with explosives in his underwear which failed. (BTW: You can’t put enough explosives in your underwear to down a plane) and now OUR GOVERNMENT wants to strip search or physically pat down all AMERICAN travelers at a cost of BILLIONS of dollars.

Non-metallic weapons are bullsh**. Nobody can get in the cockpit anymore. Maybe they could harm another passenger? Is this a realistic threat?

Nobody has been killed by terrorists on an American aircraft since 9/11!

Also - TSA (or DfT) has never caught a terrorist - ever!

Odds: 1 in 6.5 billion ? or less? the bombs didn't work!
Powerball 1 in 40 million?
State lottery 1 in 14 million.

I'm 465 times more likely to win the state lottery, than to be killed by terrorists on a plane!

WHAT ARE OUR LEGISLATORS SMOKING?

Billions to strip search Air Travellers? Teachers all over the country out of work?
Cities & Towns going bankrupt?

What about the 300,000 killed in car crashes in the same period?

What's wrong with this picture?
