thewayneWednesday, November 24. If you're flying, and have some time, demand a pat-down in a private room by the TSA rather than the body scanner. The intent is that if enough people do it across the country, it will send a message to government that these scanners are too much. The Electronic Privacy Information Center have sought a court order to stop the use of these devices as it has been proven before that the promise by the TSA that the images will not be stored is false, there has even been an assault by one TSA employee on another after the second made fun of the first's genitals while demonstrating the machines.
It's a definite monkey wrench attempt against the TSA and airline industry, and the airline industry is talking to government after receiving letters of complaint from travelers saying they will not fly again because of these scanners.
I only wish I were flying on the 24th, but we're not, we'll be driving to Phoenix late.
