Not thrilled with the Transportation Security Administration's new touchy-feely pat down techniques and full-body scanners? Now there's a line of underclothes that offer a friendly reminder of the Fourth Amendment during controversial searches.
It's called 4th Amendment Wear.
Metallic ink printed on shirts spells out the privacy rights stated in the amendment and is designed to appear in TSA scanners.

Would be a great idea except by the look of most TSA staff I doubt they could read it..
They need an easier to see symbol, maybe a pic of a hand with a suggestive gesture..

Cool idea.
I even saw this one company making metallic plated underwear to block the scan in that private area.
I'm wondering if these metallic particles will raise flags as potential explosive material or whatever.

If I was gay I'd organize a trip with Gays and Lesbians..
We could all line up and smile at the TSA staff, waiting for our grope..

Another good post!
I'm not flying either and refuse to be scanned or touched but this is excellent information. We should all buy this as probably the scanners and pat downs are just beginning.
I guarantee this abuse of our 4th Amendment will eventually extend to bus and train stations.
Hope this post is applauded.

Heh they need to make one that when viewed through the scanner it shows a suspicious looking device embedded in your chest cavity or one of those cartoon style bombs. Maybe a chest burster or some exotic animals, maybe even a little man trying to get out...
No doubt there is some law forbidding such a prank... and you could be arrested for taking the mickey. Such organizations tend to dont like being made fun of.

Quote from : JetBlue, TSA employees settle Arabic T-shirt case for $240,000
JetBlue Airways and two TSA screeners will pay $240,000 to settle an Iraqi man's claim he was denied access to a flight until he covered a T-shirt that read in English and Arabic, "We Will Not be Silent."
In the settlement, JetBlue and the TSA screeners deny any wrongdoing, saying they only wanted to resolve the 2½-year-old federal lawsuit.
But Raed Jarrar, an Iraqi who immigrated to the United States three years ago, cast the settlement as a victory, saying the payout would discourage airlines and airport security officials from imposing restrictions in the future.

I was thinking I might have a large bowl of cream of broccoli soup and a huge burrito from Las Delicious then pop a few viagra before heading on my next trip.

Already on my Christmas wish list 2 weeks ago.
Waiting for the Government to start a ban on anything or anyone wearing them.
Should make the company a bundle on them.
Someone needs to send one to Barack Obama and every President after him.

This would probably be a lot of fun until they wheel you into the operating room with a team of bomb squad surgeons standing by!
Or they attach explosives to you and blow you up in a controlled demolition like they did to the harmless toy robot in Denver last week.
