Thread: The We Won’t Fly Plan for Restoring Sanity to Air Travel

Video at the link below


The Plan is Simple

1. If you absolutely, positively must fly, opt out of the scanners. Do it to protect your health and privacy.
2. If you can avoid flying, don’t fly. Hit the airlines in the pocketbook until the scanners and gropers are gone. Make the airlines work for us.
3. Raise holy hell. Register your disapproval of the scanners and gropers to your airline, your hotel and all government officials who claim to work for you. Educate your community.

For your Health

Backscatter X-ray uses ionizing radiation, a known cumulative health hazard, to produce images of passengers’ bodies. Children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with defective DNA repair mechanisms are considered to be especially susceptible to the type of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. Also at high risk are those who have had, or currently have, skin cancer. Ionizing radiation’s effects are cumulative, meaning that each time you are exposed you are adding to your risk of developing cancer. Since the dosage of radiation from the backscatter X-ray machines is absorbed almost entirely by the skin and tissue directly under the skin, averaging the dose over the whole body gives an inaccurate picture of the actual harm. In their letter of concern, the UCSF faculty members noted that “the dose to the skin could be dangerously highâ€

This entire mess is about political correctness and selling high dollar machines,look for these to spread to train stations, bus stations and in time malls, second point this gives government an opportunity to expand, more TSA employees and they also plan on adding IRS people. Small standing army of government puppets IMO...

Thanks Kathy, but not enough people have been exposed to this new security debacle so they aren't making much noise yet. Thanksgiving will be interesting to watch since so many people may be going through this for the first time.

Stop the PC B.S. , implement visual, psychological and behavioral PROFILING and other common sense measures. If you are Muslim and don't like it, don't fly. All Muslims are not terrorists but almost ALL terrorists are Muslim. That's an indisputable fact.

Profile not race but location.

I have another concern with these "pat downs". From what I understand, these TSA workers do not change their plastic gloves between the individual "search and probe" routine. There are diseases that can be spread by this practice.

The answer is profiling.
