Say 'I Opt Out' of Airport Scanners on National Opt Out Day, November 24
Airport Business News ^ | 11-15-10 | AirportBusiness.com

Posted on 11/18/2010 8:44:23 AM PST by FS11

"Not only are these porno scanners a gross violation of individual privacy," said boycott co-founder George Donnelly, "they're also a threat to the health of millions of passengers and ineffective as well. The goal of the demonstrations is to urge Americans to exercise their legal right to 'opt out' of the scan."

If you have to fly on November 24, We Won't Fly urges you to opt out of the new scanners for your own health and privacy. Say "I opt out!" Be prepared for delays and intimate TSA "patdowns." If you're not flying on November 24, We Won't Fly urges you to tell your friends, family and community members who are flying. Organizers of local meetups can list their events on our nationwide map at http://WeWontFly.com/opt-out-day.

As University of California scientists noted earlier this year, the airport scanners may pose a serious health risk. "Our overriding concern is the extent to which the safety of this scanning device has been adequately demonstrated. This can only be determined by a meeting of an impartial panel of experts that would include medical physicists and radiation biologists at which all of the available relevant data is reviewed," they said in a letter of concern.

I just read and heard on the radio about a case of Cholera in the USA. What better way to spread disease than by the State militia touching you with their dirty and contaminated gloves at the airport of your choice?

People are coming and going from all over the world. Who knows what diseases are coming with them.

Why am I not the least bit surprised that you agree with him. I think the two of you should get a room. It appears neither of you mind being touched by strangers inappropriately.

Strange look on the TSA guy’s face. Please tell me he’s not smiling. I never knew the “X” in LAX, PHX, etc. stood for X-rated.

Why can’t we just adopt the same methods that the Israeli’s use?

Their method works. And they are surrounded by terrorists.

He can cut and paste...

I think he just wants to argue with someone about it.

I noticed that too, after I posted to him. Someone also posted that he had two daughters. He has an old sign up date, but I had never heard of him before here on FR.

Except that he's not responded to anyone. Sounds like auto-troll!

Wrong day to do an ‘opt’ out - this date hurts citizens - not feel and grab goons employed at airports.

Why is the boycott on such a busy day? Create confusion? I don’t know if I like this. I’m all for making a statement, but’s let’s do it on a safer day.

The muslim Terrorists aren’t profiled because we have one of them in our White House who controls our Dept of Homeland Security.

BO is aiding and abetting his Terrorist Pals.
