What will you choose?. A tough choice. Being viewed naked. Pat-down no better described then intimate. Groping, molestation and a violation of privacy -- that's how some passengers are describing the new pat down procedure recently implemented at airports across the country.

A tough choice Being viewed naked Pat-down no better described then intimate.
Groping, molestation and a violation of privacy -- that's how some passengers are describing the new pat down procedure recently implemented at airports across the country. This is what we have to deal with going through security now.
Fear of Flying • Dread going through security with the invasion of privacy. • Not Scared of terrorist.
Terrorist • Why choose and airplane its been done. • If they want to kill large volume of people why not head to the • Crowded Urban Streets • Subways • Concert Arenas • Sports Stadiums • I have never seen any security this invasive at any of these locations.
WHY NOW? • After 9/11, yes security was enforced and they began better searches but nothing this great. • When asked, TSA executive answered because It's believed that women terrorists, by smuggling plastic explosives under their clothes, caused the crash of two Russian airliners last summer.
CHILDREN AND SECURITY Scanner Pat-down • Radiation or pat-down, what will you choose for your child? • A radiology spokesman says a child would need 1,000 scans to even equal a chest x-ray. • Psychologist recommend the scanner over the pat-down. • The scanner would be as if walking through the metal detector. • The Pat-down is so “thorough” the child could feel as though the are be sexually abused.
Prepare your child. • Explain to your child about what is going to happen. • Scanner, a cool picture will appear. • Pat-down, they are going to feel your legs and tummy to make sure we are all safe. • Also with the Pat-down make sure you request to go first so your child can see what is going to happen. • Assure your child its ok.
Protest • Barbara Smith of the Salt lake tribune says, “I strongly object to invasive body-search.” • Her answer to get them to change is “JUST QUIT FLYING.” • Other people have shown up in swimsuits and Speedo's saying “ this way you’ll know I’m not wearing a bomb.” • Others just wear signs.
Discrimiation • Many women also say if they are big breasted or good looking they will get pulled aside. • What race are you anything but white you may get pulled aside.
