Just Say No To Full Body Scans
I absolutely refuse to go along with this. I've had enough TSA airport nonsense.If they install them at JFK, yours truly will be driving to Florida to visit the family, which means I'll have less time to spend with them. Oh well. I've already had lip gloss (seriously!) and cuticle cutters get confiscated, been through the now obsolete "blower" and I'm sick and tired of taking my shoes off.WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary for homeland security, said on Thursday she will travel to Spain this month to meet with her international counterparts to seek tougher international aviation security measures.
She also told reporters during a briefing that the United States is scheduled to deploy 300 additional advanced imaging scanners at U.S. airports in 2010, and may deploy more.
Why is it that whenever the gubment screws up the answer is always more gubment less freedom? When are Americans going to say enough with this billion dollar scam and stand up for themselves?

Morons run this country. Morons who are above their pay scale and ability level.
Yeah... Here's the thing: Does PETN even show-up if it's shaped like a body part? I've used the stuff in minerals sampling - "trenching" a chunk of bedrock as det-cord (and CIL 40%). When it's dry, I'll bet the stuff is TOTALLY transparent to these new-fangled expensive machines.
And why should everyone go through the scanners?
And is there any health risk? I'm not sanguine about x-rays being zapped at me.
The whole damned fiasco with x-ray scanners reminds me of lazy statist bullshit... not a problem exists to which you can't through vast amounts of other people's money and still come up with a failure.
Doesn't it seem a trifle ironic to take scans of people that would probably be illegal if they were passed around on the internet?
Hey ISG: That's a darn slick way of getting in a Rule 5 Post.
