There was the time my then-74-year-old mom was singled out randomly by a large, unattractive loudmouth sista who I threatened to have fired from her job at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport for speaking inappropriately to her.
Come to think of it, I've not seen her since then.
More recently, the use of better machines, universally applied, like the TSA Body Scanner, have made concerns that passengers would be singled out by race far less. Only now, some passengers don't want to be the subject of a full-body scan.
According to The Washington Post, "A groundswell of anger has rippled through the nation's airports," by people who don't want their bodily attributes or lack thereof exposed, literally, by body scanners. Such people probably aren't black, because if they were, they'd express joy over the knowledge that some white guy or gal's getting the same TSA scrutiny, rather than ask for it to stop.
That's why I say "Keep it going." The TSA Body Scanner eliminates a racist option. Everyone should be scanner before they go about the act of flying on a plane.
No exceptions.
Cancer. Dermal and sub-dermal skin will receive directly the strength of 4 chest X-rays on the surface. It isn't penetrating radiation, but one is still standing in front of radio active material. If it see's through something, its radioactive.
ReplyDeleteAlso, knowing if I'm circumsized doesn't protect anyone from a cargo bomb. Its intelligence that stops bombings.

"Beyond the Full Body Scanners by TSA " is about possible orifice probes because can stash explosives in abdomen cavity.
OR
could be explosive sniffer dogs - smelling passengers butts all day long through a glory hole so it won't be so degrading.......
One exception: flight crews!
ReplyDeleteI won't even bother to get into the scientific evidence or lack thereof of the accumulative effect of low levels of radiation. Nah. I'll go for the "oh, duh!" common sense version: since 9/11, we have allowed flight crews to carry weapons as a deterrent to terrorist takeovers of cockpits. Since we encourage flight crews to carry the weapons we are trying to screen out through the TSA body scanner, what's the point?
Forcing you to be exposed to x-rays is illegal. Always opt out..... they will pat you down like an animal-terrorist and touch your private parts to humiliate you and stop people from opting out. The scanners are two things.... 1) they are the means to a situation that treats us more like cattle and less human to show us the power of the federal govt. 2) they are hugh money makers for the the owners. These machines cant be sold like this in any other market. Opt out and never stop complaining.... boycott flying....start taking trains or just canceling trips.....simple
ReplyDeleteQuit bugging old white ladies and children. focus on the ones who are bombing us - arabs, blacks and wierd young white dudes
ReplyDeleteThanks for that expression of bigotry, Darin.
