I say nay.  Puffer machines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosives_trace-detection_portal_machine) are less invasive and don't require some perv from the very repeatable TSA to see/touch your junk. 

oh god, nay myface;

I was fine with the new body scanners until I found out they aren't really doing their job anyway.

I didn't say I was fine with the pat-down. Just the body-scanners because I assumed they worked.

Hey turns out I was wrong.

Hey I'm flying tomorrow so I'll let you know how gentle they are hocuspocus;

I hope they don't scar you for life.  saddood;

It's their airport, I feel like they should be able to do what they want for their own (and others) security.


Do I like it, no not really.

 I'm going to get a boner on purpose and wink at them and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible.  baddood;

lol

Of course not, I could never support such a gross invasion of privacy. The stories coming out of TSA hell are incredibly disturbing too.

This is my favorite TSA horror story. giggle;

QuoteA bladder cancer survivor is claiming that a pat-down left him soaked in his own urine, reports MSNBC. Thomas Sawyer wears a urostomy bag sealed to his stomach to collect his urine; he says that TSA officials in Orlando inadvertently broke the seal during a pat-down, leaving him humiliated and soaked.
"I tried to warn him that he would hit the bag and break the seal on my bag, but he ignored me," Sawyer says. "Sure enough, the seal was broken and urine started dribbling down my shirt and my leg and into my pants. They never apologized. They acted like they hadnââ,¬â,,¢t seen what happened. But I know they saw it because I had a wet mark. I am totally appalled by the fact that agents that are performing these pat-downs have so little concern for people with medical conditions."

that's terrible myface;

wow i'm never flying again

All the horror stories come from the patdown though. So go through the body scanners, they don't work anyway.

come on if you had to pat down a really hot girl would you not at least sort of half kinda grab dat ass? wariodood;

The pat-downs are performed by somebody of your own gender.  n_u

I don't support the shit they're doing at all, but I also don't see a mention of airplane "security" or the TSA in the constitution anywhere.

It's all security theatre.

you might want to look a bit more carefully at the 4th amendment.

i'll admit i'm stupid and somehow forgot about it for a second

But I think it'll be upheld because you can choose whether or not to get on the plane, and the 4th amendment protects you from searches that are against your will.

I went to a football game a couple weeks ago and they did pat-down on everybody that went in. If you didn't support it, you didn't have to go. It's not like the TSA is breaking into your home and feeling you up forcefully, so until then, I wouldn't exactly say it's unconstitutional and there are generally other ways to arrive at your destination.

i mean it kind of sucks, yeah, but i can't find myself in a situation where i'd be really upset about this

like if i was popping a boner i'd still probably go for the pat down, because that's lol, actually my roommate took some viagra before his visit back home so i should hear about that story

also yeah i don't see anything wrong with the body scanners



when they say "see you naked", it's not like they're masturbating to you or anything, and even if they are, i'm sure i've masturbated to girls who didn't wanna get masturbated to, it's a never ending cycle of masturbation

buy hot cakes now

Yeah so I somehow made it through security in only 5 minutes on Thanksgiving eve... weird

Anyway I wasn't bothered by anything, I got some naked pictures taken of me and went on my merry way

Then again I was too tired to really pay attention to anything that was going on girl;

I'll take the train, thanks. If I'm trying to pass in an airport the TSA has the power to (a) view my naked body, and pull me aside for identity bullshit or (b) if I don't decide to have my privacy invaded, I get to start a small scandal over who's patting me down. From a wider critique...I don't believe that national/international institutions purposed for something as vague yet seemingly critical as national security should be given the power with which to police travel, especially through profiling and exclusion of non-normative induviduals (particularly around race).
The anti-TSA stuff that I've been hearing has been in large part libertarian-style not-my-body kinda stuff, but I think it's important to see the danger to society as a whole, not only in seeing an Orwellian slippery slope, but the threat to especially non-white, but otherwise non-majority created by this kind of power difference.

Wait, what does race have to do with this?

if you are black they ttry to slam dunk u into prison

Most of the security people I've ever seen are black anyway n_u

thats cos white folk cant play bball

lol
I have no problem with it. I feel they could use better measures, but I'm not against it.  
No one is forcing you to take a plane. You don't have to go.
BUT
I do see why people would be offended by this
I think some of PQQU's claims are a bit outrageous though.

Yeah really  doodhuh;

Obviously certain precautions need to be taken but security is necessary...

uhh honestly i don't care that much

i'm flying on the 15th of december and it's certainly not such a big deal that i'm gonna worry about it
