Did it ever occur to anyone that they (meaning the govt.) are doing this to ensure we don't take/smuggle our MONEY out of the country???

Remember you can only take 10K at a time out of the USA without a customs declaration, which I never did get, and still don't, why on earth do we have to declare what we do with our own money?? Maybe they are afraid too many rich citizens are escaping? Who's going to pay the top 2% taxes? Just an idea to get your wallet out in the open?

This is all part of Hussein's totalitarian communist control program. Instead of searching muslims, they get to walk right on past without any scrutiny while law abiding tax paying american patriots are harassed to the point where they aren't allowed on flights anymore.

Big Brother police state is here but I doubt people expected it to come with sharia law and a muslim president.

It would appear that the only business doing well in America is the manufaturer of the Porn-Screeners.

They are manufactured here, are’t they?

I can see this process going one of two ultimate directions -

Gender segregated aircraft with all passengers flying naked. (My brain burns)!

OR

NO MORE INSPECTIONS at all except for ones like El Al where PROFILERS look for the bad guys. Just think about it, we now have armored cockpits that are very resistant to intrusion. If we allow our fellow citizens on without these carry-on restrictions, then a bad guy will probably be lucky to get 5 feet before he becomes the victim. We know the alternatives and I, for one will be glad to be a martyr to the cause of AMERICAN FREEDOM!

The biggest problem I have with my own idea is that things like the "shoe bomb" are too powerful. If, as they are saying after this latest, Yemeni Shipping Bombs, are true, then a mere 4 ounces of C4 can kill an airliner.

So it is back to "Flying Naked!"

Someone in the Federal govt just read Atlas Shrugged and they're afraid the producers will all leave a la John Galt and his friends.

Couple of serious questions:

There is NO testing to prove that the radiation dosages are safe or unsafe. Just no studies at all.

If one has a medical condition that requires radiation treatments, will the TSA tattoo new radiation entry points on your skin?

Or if I work in an industry that provides radiation badges and religiously tracks lifetime radiation exposure, do these scannings affect my ability to keep my job?

Do airline pilots, FA and frequent fliers need to add these scans to their lifetime allotment of radiation?

Forget my feelings about having my 14 y.o. scanned (NO!), there is just not enough information to tell a jury in 2020 when the first TSA induced cancers appear.

This is done under the auspices of "The War on Drugs" and is just one of its evils. A black landscaper in Texas was going to Mexico to buy plants and he was taking cash for that purpose. Someone stopped him, I don't remember if it was Customs, Border Patrol, or whomever, but they confiscated his cash, $14,000, as drug bounty and threatened to take his vehicle.

The war on drugs does more harm that good. I suggest that we allow the Mexican Drug lords and gangs to go to Afghanistan and fight the Taliban for the poppy fields. At least they don't impose Sharia law and it would get them out of our neighborhood for a while.
