So, this could possibly been an excerise in Cognitive Dissonance, just to see who would jump and how far they could push?

I flew out of Tampa International (TPA) on Monday and the Body Scanners were off. All I got was the metal detector and x-ray of my carry on luggage. No pat downs, my junk remained unmolested, and the line moved quickly.

These full body scanners give you as much radiation as about 15 minutes of flying at 30,000 feet. This whole thing is getting overblown, and in some dark cave somewhere in Pakistan Osama bin Laden is laughing his a$$ off at us.

And on the nightly news the bend-over media is doing their job saying “there were no apparent protests anywhere”

They’ve been put on standby until the
new TSA eunuchs complete their training.

Flying on a commercial carrier is no more a Constitutional Right than having a Driver's License is a Constitutional Right.

If you don't like the proceedures, you don't have to fly.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the media to investigate the “normal” delays. People can’t opt out if the TSA turns the machines off or reduces the percentage screened. Only about 20% of passengers are selected for nude scans in the first place (good looking women being top priority of course). Of those, a much smaller percentage opt out and get genital groped. Even if 30 or 40% of travelers were prepared to opt out on Opt Out Day, the TSA could adjust the percent scanned as necessary to avoid delays.

BTW, Janet Napolitano claims the scans are essential for security, and she’s implying the scans should be expanded to other forms of mass transit. If only 20% are randomly picked for scanning, however, 4 out of 5 passengers are only going through the traditional metal detector. For something so essential, why aren’t they forcing everyone to submit? Ah, but that’s part of TSA strategy, too. It’s easy to get people to give up liberties incrementally, and it’s human nature not to want to stand out by opting out, especially if you seem to be the only one doing so.

This is similar to random drug tests for the military. Perhaps random tests are a deterrent for some, but many avoid detection for a long time. Plus, they only risk their careers. Don’t ask me how a terrorist, someone who is willing to die in their cause, is going to be deterred by random scans that target only 1 out of 5 passengers.

And TSA is telling the press the protest did not happen w/o mentioning they halted the molestation, radiation and porn shots.

"TSA Have Deactivated Body Scanners"

Pity we can't "de-activate" the rest of this damnable administration...2012 can't come soon enough.

I was hoping you would mouth the Official Party Line stupidity that “Flying is not a right.” I am further pleased that you used the belligerent my way or the highway crap, “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to fly.”

Spoken like a true Statist. Janet, it that you?

Flying IS a right. Big Sis grabbing us anywhere she wants is NOT.

Wake the hell up.

Yo-Yo: “If you don’t like the proceedures, you don’t have to fly.”

First off, it’s spelled procedures. Secondly, you’re wrong. The TSA is a government agency, and the 4th Amendment prohibits government from conducting unreasonable searches.

You think the searches are reasonable? Ah, but the 4th Amendment defines unreasonable, so you’re wrong again. A reasonable search, per the 4th Amendment, is one that is based on probable cause and one for which a warrant has been issued.

Bottom line: the searches are illegal.

Well some people are comfortable with agents strip searching them and feeling them up while others are not. YOu can not deny they have been molesting people up to today when they saw the protests coming up. They shut themselves down rather than having the public shut them down.

Bin Laden is laughing his ass off. Laughing at our own government molesting and infuriating innocent Americans in his name.

Flying IS a right.

Uh huh... I guess it's hidden in a penumbra and emanation? Right there next to the "right to privacy." Right?

"Unreasonable" is the key word there. Perhaps you want to rewrite the Constitution, but as it is right now, that word is in there.

You are patently incorrect. You'd do well to take a lesson in Constitutional Construction. Did you not notice the "," before "and no warrants shall issue".

You can stomp your feet all you want, you can take a tantrum if you like, you can scream like a petulant child, but the fact is your reading of the Constitution has been emphatically rejected, by both the people who wrote the Constitution, and those charged with interpreting it.

Go back and read Carroll v United States for a start.
