All I have to say to you is, "Bollocks"

I felt perfectly safe well before they instituted these Gestapo like Nanny State Machines which were installed in airports around the country, 9 years AFTER 911.

Even so, if a terrorist bombed one plane a year, I would still feel quite safe, because the odds of me being on a plane with a terrorist or 9 million to 1.

There are 9 million commercial flights a year.

I have a better chance of dying on a car crash than I do an airplane.

These TSA machines are not about protecting us from terrorist, but rather, it is all about slowly instituting gestapo like tactics across the country, where in this case, these machines are spreading, outside of airports

which means BIG $$$ for the criminal enterprises that run it, off my dime!

Quit spreading lies and falsehoods. Seems the same lies have been spread about traveling in an automobile, which as it turns out is also a right.

We have a right to travel using the usual conveyances of the day - which air travel is today.



Collection of Legal Citations supporting the Right to Travel

"Personal liberty largely consists of the Right of locomotion -- to go where and when one pleases -- only so far restrained as the Rights of others may make it necessary for the welfare of all other citizens. The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but the common Right which he has under his Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another's Rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct." II Am.Jur. (1st) Constitutional Law, Sect.329, p.1135

"The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety. It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business."

Dude, the chances of 9 million to one are due in large part to exactly the fact that the terrorists know that there is an extensive interdiction effort. What you are saying is equivalent to "stop all vaccination of any kind because nobody I know died of infectious decease". Duh.

Can't they just ask people to make a 360 degree turn with the arms out, or are they not real time?

It would seem there is a small processing time, but even so, you can make a few shots from different angles. And by the way, I'm not convinced this is not done already. The "classic" picture they show may be just one projection they look at first.

Not one bomb going off on a plane EVER from any terrorist other than inside jobs ,, screams too me that NOONE thinks it is a good idea to pull off.

Oh how we forget our history.

1970 Four planes bound for NYC were hijacked and subsequently blown up. (insert Twilight Zone music)
Here

Are you thinking deja vu yet?

There's more

How about Pan Am 103 over Lockerby?
Here
It was December 23,1988
Start up the Twilight zone music again.
Guess what happened on December 22 a few years later??
That's right the idiot shoe bomber Richard Reid.
Here

But no one blows up planes do they?

Uhh yea they do. And yea it does work.
Better bone up on your history before you make hasty decisions.

can you please explain the ratio of bombings to total flights?
can you please explain how body scanners are better at finding explosives than a chemical detector?

and then can you please explain how you can justify using these things regardless of the fact they have not been properly tested to determine long term effects?

thanks if you respond
