Maybe it's time to change tailors?
Would You Let Them Touch Your Junk?

Let them? Hell, I encourage it.

Any of you guys ever been to a real tailor? He's going to touch your junk so he can make sure your pants fit.
I thought about that yesterday when I read another thread about this...
I've gone through the new full body scanners, I've had a full pat down...and I've been to a tailor for custom fitted suits. No big deal.
I've also had a doctor shove his finger up my ass. I didn't much care for that but since the examination was necessary for the longer term, I endured it. Momentary discomfort, but I survived.
Seriously though, I understand the concern about privacy in these new days of flying, but bitch and whine as we will, we're just going to have to get used to a level of scrutiny that we haven't been used to previously.
I really don't get the prudishness of some people. A pat down isn't a feel up... it's to see if you're carrying contraband. I'm sure there are some sleazy TSA agents and people need to continue to complain - in a professional and logical sane manner - so that they bad ones can be weeded out. And I'm sure the TSA could do a better job of screening applicants to try to keep the ranks professional and courteous and business like in their pat downs and scans. But some people are just a little too touchy when it comes to a trained agent having to encroach on their personal space for the good of a whole plane full of people.

You guys make me laugh, as if something as pathetic as a "pat down" can actually find something.
Its all window dressing guys, seriously.
Anyone with a bit of Spec Forces training can show you 101 ways to smuggle almost any weapon on board a plane.
DOn't even get me started on improvsied weapons that are ALREADY on the plane.

No.
My doctor, who is trained to touch my junk, does it in the privacy of her office. Without a bunch of goons standing there watching.
And, she washes her hands and puts on fresh gloves after each patient.
Do the TSA DimRods put on fresh gloves after every pat-down? Yeah, I thought not.
The last thing I want is Wanda the Destroyer feeling me up because Janet Napolitano thinks it's a good idea. When they start feeling up every Muslim woman, perhaps.
Until then--I'm driving.
The more freedoms we give up, the less and less we have. Let them get bomb sniffing dogs for those body cavity bombs the scanners won't see. Neither will a pat down. You think Abdul the bomber won't shove a bomb up his butt?

I Know How To End The TSA’s Full Body Scans
Have Arizona pass a law saying that illegal aliens will be subject to these procedures as well! The federal government would immediately ask a judge to ban full-body scans.

You gotta buy the ticket, parking, wait in line, etc. Gets expensive. Unless you purchase 30 days advance and get Southwest.
Might as well go to the doctor, pay your $25.00 copay, tell him/her you have a problem and ask for a probe. Cheaper. Cleaner. More secure. And, if you're careful, you can tape it.

Think About It

I think the main point is along the lines of what personal rights you lost. You the American citizen is getting an unprobable cause search that could be classified as a sexual assault if you did it to someone else because you were the random guy in line who's turn it was, and Abdula the Muslim gets to go through the metal detector. The more little rights you don't piss & moan about losing, the more the government will take until the US is a full blown police state.
