The "pat down" is garbage. Without a body cavity search they can't really be certain.

Also, if you walked up, stripped down, turned around for full views by all assembled, they'd arrest you.

The whole purpose is to get you to submit to the machine examination.

THAT is what we need an answer to ~ why that machine, and why just a machine. Is there something "special" about this machine that we need to know?

“Is there something “special” about this machine that we need to know?”

Lot of connected political players are invested in that machine and stand to make lots of money of the whole deal.

Follow the money. Mike Chertoff aka Nosferatu (former head of TSA) is heavily invested in the company OSI. They produce the scanners. Now for your Sunday dose of tin :~)

We fly a lot. Two weeks ago I was very pleased that both me and my wife’s friend’s husband were singled out for the new scanners. We both declined and got public pat downs. We need people to say no. The TSA cannot afford to pat down everyone they single out without draconian measures that would make even the ignorant start to take notice.

We must “give up our comfort” as our founding fathers did.

And, frankly, this is just ONE of many ways we can do that.

The real clincher is that in airports without that particular machine, the ‘enhanced patdowns’ aren’t mandatory. IOW, this is pure theater tha has zero relation to security.

Yes there is. We need to know that the CEO is a “close friend” of the President of the U.S., who ordered these be used.
