Now the TSA can force you to go through the body-scanner (http://www.slashgear.com/now-the-tsa-can-force-you-to-go-through-the-body-scanner-22419599/)
By Chris Davies - Dec 22, 2015


Your next flight might include a mandatory trip through the body scanner, with the US government quietly changing the opt-out rules for searches. In a document published earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security outlined an update to the Advanced Imagery Technology protocols used by the TSA at US airports, adding a clause which allows officers to insist travelers go through the controversial machines.

Previously, though the body scanners were present at many airports across the country, travelers were free to opt-out of the process. Billed as a privacy consideration, it meant a physical screening was mandatory, but alleviated concerns held by some that the technology could "see them naked" and store photographs of that.

Me too. Capitalism is the best defense.

Told you so.

Are these the same scanners that have been found to be completely ineffective?

You were kind enough to purchase them, so they have to keep using them. And it's all for show, not effectiveness.

I have never flown and I will likely never fly in my lifetime.

Of course they'll just subsidize the airline industry if it starts losing money, so I doubt my boycott will be very effective.

[Slave Mentality]

I feel so safe and warm knowing this news of freedom.

Can airports seriously be considered private property with all this fasclist BS?

Ron Paul Warned About This: TSA Removes Opt-Out From Full Body Scanners (http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/)

Dec 24 - Never let a crisis go to waste. That is the motto of every government agency and every bureaucrat. Citing "heightened tensions over terrorism," the Transportation Safety Administration has unilaterally decided that fliers can no longer "opt-out" of the potentially cancer-causing and completely useless full body scanners in favor of a pat-down from a TSA agent. There was no debate in Congress. Not even an executive order. It was just a rule made by an unelected and unaccountable body, as one might expect in a dictatorship. It didn't have to be this way. Ron Paul saw this coming and introduced in several Congresses the American Traveler Dignity Act, which would have curtailed TSA powers and made TSA agents subject to the same assault laws as the rest of us. Here is a clip to remember while being corralled through the TSA cancer machines this Christmas season:

Disgusting...

I shudder at where the state of freedom will be in this country 10 years from now...

We are truly weak as a populace... we haven't even had another 9/11 style event to justify ever increasing totalitarian activity and yet it moves along so quickly...

Hmmm. Who would win a chess game played between two people, a game in which the following is stipulated: One player gets unlimited time to make moves, and can do so out of turn while the other is kept ignorant that the game is even afoot?

I'm not surprised the police state express is making excellent time. Theye don't necessarily need another even, 9/11 broke the boundaries and now most are adequately conditioned into a state of, perhaps depressed, resignation.

I flew yesterday with a stop at Dulles. The TSA guy there, said the machine there used sound. He was letting people look at what the camera "saw". Seemed less invasive. I chose to opt out, anyway.

Aka: we are fucked.

Nah, just inconvenienced. We are going to be just fine.

[Working Poor]

I don't fly anymore and I guess I never will again.

I've flown a lot in the past but haven't stepped on a commercial flight since body scanners turned up at airports. Private flights are ok. :p
