  Kids could even be subjected to this.

  Kids are subjected to this.

  If a person is that sensitive to a pat down by a same sex official, maybe they should just stay home. When was the last time you guys went to an Ozzfest?

  On the one hand Americans rage that their Gov has not prevented every danger known to man, but they turn around and rage about those preventive measures taken.

  Wow, the amount of misinformation this person has is astounding! First, he's worried about the radiation that he'll receive from the scanners, but traveling by air exposes people to a lot more background radiation than a simple x-ray. Heck, most radiation exposure that people get comes from their own houses in the form of radon.

  Second, he's worried about the so-called "vivid" images that are taken? Is that a joke? You can see the outline of a person and if they're carrying anything under their clothes, but you can't see detailed images of their genitals.

  Then the idiot says, "if you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested." Good job on being confrontational. And considering that he had the foresight to video all of this, it sounds like he was planning on causing problems.

  Too bad this dumbass didn't do a little more research. I also wonder how long his little stunt delayed that flight. Way to be a douchebag!

  So we can all see now that the real problem is that ALL are punished for the acts of a few bad apples.

  So what's the solution? If most people just go along with it, it will become the accepted normal custom. According to the man in video, he seemed to be the only salmon swimming against the current.

  Will it be odd man out? I can't imagine that everyone will give up flying.

  Take a Viagra before the pat down and give the TSA agent a thrill.

  Those stories are appalling, Leo. Since it could happen on a return trip, rather than just a TO trip, I wouldn't fly to the states with my kids as long as this policy was in place.

  It will not stop people from carrying illegal or dangerous things onto a plane if that is what they want to do. I agree with Cameo- they're punishing the innocent.

  Yizuman,

  You did not provide the source of your material, making it seem as though it was your story.

  Not cool.

  Go back to page one, scroll down to the bottom of the page, see where it reads...

  It's not my fault you can't read or being a selective reader...

  Look back at your post ... in no way does it not appear that it was not you ... so you are incorrect my friend. but we all make mistakes :-) thanks for posting it though

  I provided a source at the bottom of the page, do I have to place a disclaimer on every thread that I create now?
