I doubt that this is of importance but the scanners used by the TSA are ridiculous.  Ineffective, more dangerous than originally stated to an unknown extent, invasive, and the only other country that does it is the U.K. and they have it in 2 airports and their people are super pissed (they made it illegal to scan children calling it child

You just want the terrorists to win.

Nah, it's pretty ridiculous. I honestly don't mind someone patting me down...but only if the metal detectors go off. Everyone fails to realize that the underwear bomber and the shoe bomber were both on U.S.-bound international flights. It was the other airports that failed...not ours.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Passengers were supposedly going to stage a boycott on Wednesday, but nothing ever became of it because they knew it would just slow everything down and piss everyone off.

My friend was freaking out to me about this the other day. She feels incredibly violated... And I think the only reason I don't feel violated about it is because I don't plan on flying for the next 6 months, probably.
Not only is it complete violation, but it is dangerous, it emits so much radiation.
I mean, that's pretty ridiculous.
As my friend put it your choices are "to either be seen completely naked and not touched, or felt up completely and not seen." Score.
