I am with you on this. Creating this mass hysteria over your safety.
Can’t help but wonder what the terrorists are all thinking now.
People need to get a grip and remember what got us to here, namely 9/11.
Here’s a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports:
All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.
This would be a win-win for everyone There would be none of this garbage about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.
This is so simple it’s brilliant. I can see it now: you’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, “Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number...”
I ask you the same as Chuzzlewit.
Where do you draw the line?
Maybe I can explain it this way. Do you think anyone who is about to obliterate hundreds or thousands of people has the ability to engage in a normal conversation? the ability to look someone in the eye? There is a detachment that someone has who is about to commit a vile and despicable act.
Common sense has left us.
Wave the bloody shirt of September 11th. The terrorists are probably laughing their asses off at the stupid Americans and their so-called security.
Because 19 radical Muslims attacked our country, 300 million AMERICANS have to give up their rights, liberties, and dignities? Bullcrap.
It’s all for show anyway. A bomb up the anus or vagina won’t be detected by these nude-o-scopes. Also, God knows what is being shipped in the cargo hold.
Also, it was legal to bring box cutters on board the plane on September 11, 2001. Meanwhile, the brain-dead TSA has made it next to impossible for the pilots to arm themselves.

While everyone is fussing and fuming about airport ‘security’ (ha), terrorists are no doubt busily planning different types of attacks — a well placed missile could take out one of the mega cruise ships and cause thousands of deaths — no terrorist even need be on board!
I recall before 9/11 the WHOLE COUNTRY was ruminating about the Chandra Levy murder — nothing else seemed to matter until Ms. Levy’s death was upstaged by 9/11...
You would have a point if the new procedures are actually making you safer, but they're not.
