TSA Scanning and Pat Downs

Also on the profiling: I'm not talking "Hey there's some Mooslims over there, lets get them!" I'm talking psychological profiling, and assessment up at the front desk. That is where the security needs to begin is on the initial contact with the flyer.

in israel they have people that go through a year long training program as the first point of contact for travellers. they are trained to look for people who exhibit abnormal behavior. things such as looking nervous, etc. in america we pay 200 pound women $9 a hour to do this. makes sense to me.

I think it was Atlanta where I actually went through security again to leave the airport. Did they think I was going to sneak a gone off the plane?????

I've flown thru Atl many times and never had to go twice. Maybe it was customs?

I'm ready for something like in Total Recall, where you just walk down the highway and are scanned, but it doesn't pick up soft tissue so you're "naked."

Me too!

Wouldn't that be obvious :)

But honestly TSA was saying xray machines like that won't pick up stuff like C4.

TSA pat-down leaves traveler covered in urine - Travel - News - msnbc.com

A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his stomach. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.”

amazing that some think trusting the "security of our country" to people like this is a good idea.

Hrmm, why does this come to mind? "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

This is what you get when you won't take the stand and name your enemy.

Let's be honest people, if you've not ridden a camel in your lifetime chances are your not trying to blow up a plane.

Uh oh, I rode a camel at a zoo once. I guess that puts me on a watch list.

just remember these are the people the gov't put in place to protect you from bad things. They are also the people fondling your junk

funny how some of the folks who complained long and loud about warrantless wiretapping are the same ones defending the TSA now.

For everyone saying "no big deal" how many of you are frequent flyers? I personally think they've taken it too far, but not too many people are going to protest. The majority of flyers during the week are business people and we don't have time to "make a stand".

I am concerned about the health risks of the scanners, opting for a gate rape might cause you to miss your plane.

Coming in from an international flight, you do have to pass through security before re-entering the "main" airport... been like that for at least 8 years.

there are plenty of people defending these new pat-down rules, many of them happen to be the same ones who didn't care for warrantless wiretapping

I get the feeling the ones defending it are the ones who are not subjected to it.
