I would hate to have to look at that all day! Notice you can even see the rolls in the skin. [url]http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/020314/170/1987a.html[/url] |

And I thought I would read several posts about unwarranted government intrusion! Why doesn't this fall under "unreasonable search and seizure?" It is a strip search, no more and no less. I don't want to hear anything about 9/11 justifying it. Nineteen fit men legally boarded the aircraft determined to take them or die in the attempt. They could not do this again, nor I suspect, anywhere else in the world. I used to put down Libertarians as idealists tilting against windmills, but Damn! Does anyone else have a problem with whole idea? |
| Do they even need probable cause to strip search you if you want to board the plane? But, one could argue this is no less reasonable (reasonableness being the standard supplied by the 4th) than an x-ray. then again, I'm sure a libertarian would argue the government shouldn't be doing the airport security anyway. Thus the private rent a cops could do the scan without worry; the 4th wouldnt apply. |

[b]Airport spokesperson Carolyn Fennell said the devices should be in use for passengers on a voluntary basis in several days.[/b] Voluntary. Sure. I wonder how long till we will "voluntarily" submit to full body cavity searches when we want to get on a plane. Absolutely ridiculous. -Gloftoe |

Quoted: I'm thinking a tinfoil swastika taped to my butt would liven things up if I ever get shuffled through one of those things. Swastika? I have a better idea. Cut out a tinfoil approximation of a hand giving the finger. Tape to body part of your choice before going to the airport. |
