There are so many components here: the 4th Amendment; decency and privacy; treatment of both adults and children which will both cause new and restimulate old, sexual hurts; and systematically poisoning the traveling public with radiation. The health issues alone are boggling. The sexual violations alone are also boggling. Once again we are left scratching our heads at the notion that a few obscenely wealthy men are willing to cause unmeasurable suffering to fellow humans on a massive scale, just to become more obscenely wealthy. We cannot agree to be treated this way as Americans, or to have visitors to our country treated this way.Oonagh Taegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719787892036717430.post-21025035129415939282010-11-24T18:20:34.984-05:002010-11-24T18:20:34.984-05:00Thank you for your inspiring words...Thank you for your inspiring words...Sunn Thundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103857853775224717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719787892036717430.post-16997619551091565752010-11-24T18:10:41.992-05:002010-11-24T18:10:41.992-05:00Very well written Todd and thank you.

This is wonderfully and eloquently stated.<br /><br />I have two small children and my nearest relatives aside from them live three days' drive from here. But we will not be flying.<br /><br />The government via CPS would remove my children from me if I let strangers grope them or photograph them naked in any other context (Hell, parents have gotten in trouble for trying to have innocent pictures of their kids in the bath developed at Wal-Mart.) Yet, I'm supposed to stand back and tell them it's OK if it's done to them with full government approval and authority at a public airport.<br /><br />I'm protesting this for my children because I don't want to have to answer to them someday about the 4th Amendemnt right we used to have and let slip away because we were too cowed by our own fear of something statistically less likely to happen to us than a lightening strike or dog bite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719787892036717430.post-58889806511400345062010-11-24T16:58:44.462-05:002010-11-24T16:58:44.462-05:00Very well said.

I also refuse to subject myself, and especially my children to this abuse, which clearly has great potential to spread to all areas of our lives.

Eloquently written, and proud to be an American knowing there are other patriots like you willing to make a sacrifice for what they believe. <br /><br />I too am canceling a flight planned for January. I was flying from CA to FL to attend my brother's wedding. Now, I am looking into alternatives, whether it be a four day train ride or a four day drive. Were it not for a wedding, I would have cancelled the trip entirely. I've told my family (who live in NJ and FL), that we will have to visit less frequently because I will not fly under these conditions. The government is denying my freedom of movement. It is egregious, and wholly unfair, but I will not be intimidated.<br /><br />I have already written to my congressman, called my local airport and spoken to both the airport and TSA representative expressing my concerns, and emailed all the airlines I fly. I was polite but firm. I will not fly unless changes are made... and I was one of just 7% of Americans who fly more than once a year. <br /><br />I just wanted you to know that there are others out there who feel just as strongly and we WILL get this policy changed.<br /><br />And if you find an alternative country to live in, publish it. My homeland has become a scared group of nitwits willing to accept all kinds of government intrusion under a false veil of security. Our founding fathers would be appalled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719787892036717430.post-83024902186032548342010-11-24T16:45:27.077-05:002010-11-24T16:45:27.077-05:00Beautifully and eloquently stated.

Body scan machines are operational in two Federal courthouses already, and if we do nothing now we will not even be able to file suit without being violated.1amwendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719787892036717430.post-30647663491331664772010-11-24T16:40:49.123-05:002010-11-24T16:40:49.123-05:00The thought of anyone touching my nephews in that ...The thought of anyone touching my nephews in that way makes me sick.
