Do you think the TSA's x-ray machine concept is invasive to your / your loved ones personal privacy?

If you don't want to be checked, don't get on a dang plane.

Fact- bad guys hide bombs in their underware on christmas.

Yes its an invasion of privacy but I think the notion of privacy needs to go out the window when you get on a plane.

This is pretty much it.
I can understand not wanting to have an x-ray, or not wanting a... **** tone-on-tone picture of... your human body...
But I don't understand refusing to be frisked >____>

Also, I'm pretty glad they're calling it "Don't Touch My Junk"; I thought that line was hilarious :lol:
"If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested! D:"

how fragile this makes America looks? Never thought one incident could potentially turn a whole big & advanced nation into a police state.

Yeah, because a police state is totally what we are now. Just last night, I stayed out past curfew, and a group of patrolling soldiers beat the hell out of me. :roll:

I dont know. These are not invasive at all and they can even detect explosvie material in shoes without people taking them off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosives_trace-detection_portal_machine

Didn't the leader of Israeli air port security (or intelligence, I dunno) prove those things were a massive waste of money anyway?

It was a "leading Israeli airport security expert" who said that they are useless and they don't have them in Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion international airport. I'd trust the Israelies when it comes to security in airports and planes.

I'd trust the Isreali experience in genocide too.

Last time she was on was during their E3 coverage. She said she was still going to show up every now and then while she went off to work for Jon Stewart, have a sitcom (that bombed), and write a book. But for all intents and purposes, she can be considered gone. G4 is just too lazy to actually axe her name from the channel since they'd have to take her face off all the crap on AotS.

I don't see the problem with him not wanting a nude pic or his privates touched by a stranger just to get on a plane.

BS, I took a flight a year ago, 1 YEAR, and was just walking through a metal detector, sending my shoes/carry-on through an X-ray machine, and getting my ID checked. Were we so much safer 1 year ago that we didn't need those machines, or to be frisked, or is it just excessive bs today? Also, they could just ::acts shocked:: profile, there are certain characteristics to these terrorists...

Also, if a terrorist had half a brain, they'd just shove something into an orifice... but what next, we're gonna get a TSA agent shoving their fingers inside of us? -.-

The next thing to happen is the TSA will require people to be strip searched.
