Airport Security Patdowns

Airport Pat Downs and Body Scanners Criticized

Nov 16-2010 - Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. (Republican -Tenn.) blasted the Transportation Security Administration during a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives for invasive “pat-downs” of U.S. citizens and the role lucrative government contracts played in the use of body scanning machines at airport checkpoints.

Hundreds of thousands of frequent fliers who fly each week are upset about getting these frequent doses of radiation.

Parents are upset about being forced to have their children radiated or being touched inappropriately by an unrelated adult.

There is already plenty of security at the airport, but now we are going to spend up to $300 million to install 1,000 scanners.

This is much more about money than it is about security.

The former Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan, the company which is selling these scanners to his former department.

Far too many federal contracts are sweetheart, insider deals.

Companies hire former high ranking federal officials, and then magically, those companies get hugely profitable federal contracts.

The American people should not have to choose between having full-body radiation or a very embarrassing, intrusive pat-down every time they fly, as if they were criminals.

Cebes Says: If they start doing anal cavity checks and you pass wind in the TSA’s face ... is that assault? Will they require you to warn them first or will they all be wearing those full hazmat suits like in the movie ET? Submit it Here

preparenow Says: - If the terrorist wanted to do something they could walk across the border and they would be given food stamps, housing and health care on way to the target, plus free in-state tuition in California Submit it Here
