USA: No-Fly Zone

November 24th, aka: the day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year for airports.
So without question it's one of the best choices to hold National Opt-Out Day.
Activists hope many will follow their lead as they protest the use of full body scanners,
instead opting for the "enhanced patdown", or more suitably coined "grope".
A recently issued TSA press release declared they will be stepping up the patdowns
to include the fondling of breast & genitalia by palm.

The patdowns are just a way to persuade travelers to accept the Advanced Imaging devices.
Which studies prove not only radiate those being inspected, but also the techs running the machines.
To say there's been growing backlash by we the people is an understatement.
Forbes has even called for the abolishment of the TSA over this.
A Reuters poll found out of 69.2k people -
96% will be making "alternate travel plans to avoid intrusive security scans & patdowns".
A CBS poll found 80% of those questioned say
"enough with the scans and pat downs. They're an invasion of civil liberties."

Many horror stories have come to light involving the TSA's abuse of power.
Including the groping of the elderly, handicap:

& children:

As well as singling out beautiful women for screenings or patdowns.
In one such case an employee remarked, "I love those gigantic tits".
Some even allege airport employees have put their hands down their pants:

John Tyner of California refused the body scan and then recorded his patdown ordeal,
when he made a remark regarding "touching" his "junk" he was escorted off the premises and now faces fines of up to $11k:

One woman was even cuffed to a chair when she opted out of the scan & then questioned the patdown:


If TSA were to commit these acts in public, they would be put on Meghans list.
Airsafe.com has reported that ironically the TSA may not be properly screening it's employees,
allowing "those convicted of rape & other sexually based offenses to join".
In March, a TSA worker employed to conduct patdowns was found to have been charged with multiple sex crimes against underage girls.
The scanners have been found to break child porn and privacy laws as sex organs are "eerily visible".
Matter of fact, the crisp images of genitals are necessary to calibrate the machines effectiveness.
Feds have admitted the images are stored in databases, in one such case 35k images were saved.
Even Brijot, the manafacturer of the machines has confessed the technology is capable of storing up to 40k images and records, not to mention what can be sent to other mainframes for keeping.
The machines are not only capable, but mandated to do so by the DHS.
Some images have even been printed and shared, as in the case with Bollywood Shahrukh Khan
who was asked by TSA workers to autograph a photo of his naked image.
Still worse is the fact that they intend to store biometric identification information in the future as well, so you will be trackable based on body structure, stance, and walking behavior.

The welcome mat has not just been set for pedophiles, even illegals have been given the green light.
Many were cleared to work despite using fake social security numbers and other bogus documents.
Why stop there? Not only are they allowed to man the gates, but also the planes.
Many illegals were cleared for flight training by the TSA.

The ordeal goes beyond a simple invasion of privacy and takes it a step further by:
- breaking the peoples will like a pimp to a ho
- engineering citizens to drop their guard for state
- cutting down airport travel
&
- selling these devices as well as the maintenance they require.

The U.S. head of Homeland Security: Janet Napolitano is now making false accusations
to defend the use of the equipment and is even considering exempting Muslims from screenings.
She claims the scanners are safe and the patdowns discreet, despite the fact that many of the patdowns are conducted in front of a public audience.
Whats funny is she sites a study by the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab
to backup her claims that the instruments are safe.
Yet a scientist in charge of running X-Rays at the
Department of Biophysics & Biophysical Chemistry at John Hopkins University stated:
"statistically someone's going to get skin cancer from these X-rays".
Another prestigious biochemist has confirmed the machines have "mutagenic effects".
MIT research has found that this breed of technology "unzips" DNA.
"Frequent exposure to low doses of radiation can lead to cancer and birth defects".
Columbia University states the scanners deliver doses 20 times higher then previously estimated.

Many regard the devices as "useless".
Even stating the machines will do nothing to make air travel safer.
It's essential the American people stand up for their fundamental right to privacy.
Such as the airline pilots and flight attendants who oppose the scanners & molestation.
In some places such as the UK or El Paso, Texas they don't even get a choice and must circulate through these radiating mechanisms.
What's worse is they're considering implementing these gadgets in new ways elsewhere:
- Backscatter Vans (BSV)
meaning you will be bathed in radiation on the streets or in your own homes
&
- at checkpoints
meaning you'll be radiated while enjoying a joyride.

Many people have been victimized by these new processes including:
- a woman who was rehab bound,
- a Samoan baby en route to surgery who died at a Hawaii airport
after being detained due to lack of an adequate interpreter
&
- a polish man on his way to becoming a Canadian citizen detained & tasered,
pleading for help on deaf ears who couldn't understand his language.

If terrorists really wanted to do some damage, they could just detonate an explosive device in the long lines of people waiting to board multiple planes, possibly increasing the death toll & shutting down travel services.
Your chances of being on a hijacked airplane are 1 in 18,228,009.
If you consider that no notable hijackings took place in the U.S. in the 15-20 years leading up to 9/11, the odds increase, to say 1 in 22,173,753,000,
aka: being hit by lightning, attacked by a shark, & getting a refund from the IRS
(all at the same time)

Americans have some of the lowest amount of citizens with passports,
and 29k have been killed by Mexican drug cartels across the Mexican border in the last 4 years, on par with the Vietnam war.
If a terrorist really wanted to enter the country they could go to a country without any screening whatsoever, enter Mexico, and illegally cross the border, which under current conditions is called amnesty.
Then before causing harm to the country they can leach welfare like Obamas aunt:
