OBAMA Gave You BODY SCAN & GROPE

American BODY SCAN BY OBAMA, CHERTOFF & NAPOLITANO coming to your
hometown airport SOON.

Via Drudge Report: November 13, 2010
Read the incident of a traveler named John Tyner on his way to South
Dakota when he encountered a cadre blue-shirted of TSA gropers
Tyner’s ordeal demonstrates the severity of a government out of
control, especially when a TSA officer has no problems with sexual
assault when it’s the government doing it.
During the next half-hour, his cell phone recorded Tyner refusing to
submit to a full body scan, opting for the traditional metal scanner and
a basic “pat down” — and then refusing to submit to a “groin check”
by a TSA security guard.
He even told the guard, “You touch my junk and I’m going to
have you arrested.”
His threat triggered a code red alert as TSA agents, supervisors
and eventually the local police gravitated to the spot where the
reluctant traveler stood in his stocking feet, his cell phone
sitting in the nearby bin (which he wasn’t allowed to touch)
picking up the audio.
[snip]
Once he threatened to have the TSA agent arrested though, events
turned surreal.
A supervisor is heard re-explaining the groin check process to
Tyner then adding “If you’re not comfortable with that, we
can escort you back out and you don’t have to fly today.”
Tyner responded “OK, I don’t understand how a sexual
assault can be made a condition of my flying.”
“This is not considered a sexual assault,” replied the
supervisor, calmly.
“It would be if you were not the government,” said Tyner.

“By buying your ticket you gave up a lot of rights,”
countered the TSA supervisor.
“I think the government took them away after 9/11,” said

Tyner.
“OK,” came the reply.

* READ THE UCSF LETTER WARNING OF HEALH

RISK AT END OF POST.
================================
A constitutional attorney preparing to legally challenge the

Transportation Security Administration's enhanced screening
procedures – which reveal a virtually nude image of passengers
– says airline
passengers have Barack Obama
to thank for the process.
"Legislation has been proposed to mandate full-body
scanners and make them the primary screening
method in all U.S. airports by 2013, but Congress
has yet to act on it," John Whitehead, president of the
Rutherford Institute, wrote in a new commentary.
"So we can thank President Obama for this frontal

assault on our Fourth Amendment rights. Mind you,
this is the same man who insisted that 'we will not
succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open
society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans,'"
Whitehead said.
Sign onto the petition demanding the suspension of the privacy-
invading scans and pat-downs.
"Yet in the wake of the bumbling underwear

bomber's botched Christmas Day attempt to blow up
a Detroit-bound plane, Obama directed the
Homeland Security Department 'to acquire $1 billion
in advanced-technology equipment, including body
scanners, for screening passengers,'" he continued.
Concerns over the invasion of privacy by TSA scanners, described
as voyeurism by critics, along with the "molestation" of the
associated "enhanced" pat-downs and the health concerns from the
blasts of radiation have reached a critical mass.
As WND reported, groups have formed to organize passenger
boycotts and prepare protests at airports, calling for a
"National Opt-Out Day" on the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving.
Whitehead told WND he's working on assembling numerous
allegations regarding the constitutionality of the scanners in light
of the Fourth Amendment's provision that the "right of the
people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall
issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to
be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
"It's a huge civil liberties issue," he told WND. "In the
United States, we've never before strip-searched –
full-body strip searches – unless there's reasonable
suspicion of some kind of criminal activity."
For the third straight day, TSA officials declined to respond to
WND requests for comment or explanation.
"We've gotten tons of e-mails, mainly from females about the

invasions of the body scanners," Whitehead said. "In one case, a
mother [told how] her 12-year-old daughter was
pulled out of the security line, and [TSA] did touch
her breast and vaginal areas.
"This is an unreasonable search and seizure," he said.
Rutherford said any court adhering to the Constitution would find
that so.
In another case, a
pilot reported having TSA inspectors
put their fingers down inside his pants, and yet another
person reported TSA officers, infuriated that she was upset over
their pat-down procedures, "put her in a room and
isolated her for two hours" so that she missed her
flight.
Whitehead said his organization is representing Michael
Roberts, a 35-year-old airline pilot who refused to go through
the Advanced Imaging full-body scanners that are currently
being deployed at airports.
"Using either X-ray radiation or radio waves, full-

body scanners can 'see' through clothing to produce
images of an individual's unclothed body, although
they are unable to reveal material concealed in body
cavities," Whitehead explained. "Critics have likened the
scans to 'virtual strip searches' because of the degree
to which details of the body are revealed."
He noted the ACLU has urged Congress to derail the
technology, arguing passengers "should not be
required to display highly personal details of their
bodies – such as evidence of mastectomies,
colostomy appliances, penile implants, catheter
tubes, and the size of their breasts or genitals – as a
prerequisite to boarding a plane."
White pointed out that the technology, further, has yet to be fully
tested, and there are alarms being raised in the medical community
about the radiation exposure to which passengers are subjected.
He said the TSA plan to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on
hundreds of the machines is rolling forwarded even without
congressional endorsement.
He cited the Washington

insider link for the purchase
of the machines, many of which are made by
Rapiscan Systems, a corporation represented by
the Chertoff Group, headed by former Homeland
Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
Chertoff has lobbied
publicly for the need for
the machines to be
installed in airports.
A commentary at Boston.com
noted Chertoff was taking
advantage of the position he
had held with the government
"to push full body scanners
into American airports."
Logo for campaign to halt air
travel
Your explanation of a lot of issues, in "Constitutional Chaos: What
Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws,"
Further, there appears to be a concerted effort to coerce people into
the scanning machines, because while opting out now is legally
possible, the result is a full-body pat-down that one writer said is
intended to bludgeon people into cooperation.
Jeffrey Goldberg described in The Atlantic his encounter with the
TSA:
I told the officer who directed me to the back-scatter that I
preferred a pat-down. I did this in order to see how effective the
manual search would be. When I made this request, a number of
TSA officers, to my surprise, began laughing. I asked why. One
of them – the one who would eventually conduct my pat-down
– said that the rules were changing shortly, and that I would
soon understand why the back-scatter was preferable to the
manual search. ...
"Starting tomorrow, we're going to start

searching your crotchal area" – this is the word
he used, "crotchal" – and you're not going to
like it."
"What am I not going to like?" I asked.
"We have to search up your thighs and between

your legs until we meet resistance," he explained.
"Resistance?" I asked.
"Your testicles," he explained.

While the individual situations are alarming, Whitehead said, it's
the constitutional conflict that's going to create the biggest
problem.
"The next thing you know we're going to have iris scans (for
identification)," he warned. "The Department of Homeland
Security already is spending money on this."
Biometrics of that kind would be part and parcel of a

"surveillance state," he warned.
Whitehead said the one common factor in all the complaints about
TSA that he's seen has been outrage.
"I haven't seen much defense of these things," he said. "Are

we
going to allow this? What's' the next thing? Virtual
strip-searches and overly intrusive pat-downs are
moving into a very dangerous area.
"Maybe it's a good sign that there is a surprisingly large number
of people really upset. They've [TSA] gone too far," he said.
Whitehead noted that Rafi Sela, the leading airport security expert
for Israel, is convinced the scanning procedures are of no
significant benefit.
He said the invasive processes have "few guarantees of success
and numerous pitfalls, not the least of which is the harrowing
toll it is taking on our civil liberties and the risks it poses to our
health."
"Increasingly, travelers are complaining about being

subjected to ogling and inappropriate remarks by
airport officials. Yet this almost pales in comparison
to the retributive, harsh treatment and excessive full-
body searches being meted out to those who decline a
full-body scan, which is still optional," Whitehead wrote.
"The bottom line is this: forcing Americans to
undergo a virtual strip search as a matter of course
in reporting to work or boarding an airplane when
there is no suspicion of wrongdoing is a gross
violation of our civil liberties. Indeed, putting
yourself through the full-body scanner is the same as
subjecting yourself to a strip search. It completely
undermines one's right to privacy and to be free from
unreasonable searches and seizures by government
agents," he continued.
"The Constitution does not allow blanket strip
searches or full-body pat downs of American citizens
unless there's some reasonable suspicion that
criminal activity is afoot. If we allow the government
to reverse the burden of proof so that we have to
prove our innocence, then we might as well give up
on the Constitution altogether. At that point, we are
all suspects in the surveillance state," he said.
WND has documented a number of first-hand reports of
passenger's experiences with the TSA:
• Rachael: "A couple of months ago, I flew to

Washington, D.C. Before heading home, I chose gifts
for each of my children in my hotel's gift shop. I was
very excited to give my daughter a snow globe with
our Capitol Building. (She LOVES snow globes!)
When I went through security at Reagan Airport, a
TSA agent confiscated my daughter's snow globe
and told me I would not be able to have it back, as
there was no way to test the liquid inside of it. Are
you KIDDING me?!?! I was so shocked, and all I
could think was how disappointed my daughter
would be. I asked what would happen to the snow
globe, and the agent said, 'We're going to throw it in
the garbage.' While the agent took my bag to scan it
again, I tried to hold my emotions, but was
completely unsuccessful. By the time the agent
returned, I was in tears. I took my bag and left,
afraid if I stood there an extra second, I'd begin
screaming at the TSA. These ridiculous TSA rules
allow the terrorists to continue to inflict pain on us
as a nation!"
• Rosemary: "I'd decided months ago that I was NOT
going to be microwaved on 'medium defrost' and
have my 51-year-old body ogled by a TSA employee.
So the angry TSA attendant parked me next to the
scanner, and I kept looking at the scanning device
and wondering (and hoping) that the Plexiglas
shroud blocked all the radiation generated by the
machine. What a perfect punishment for someone
who fears being exposed to whatever health risks:
Park them NEXT to the machine so that they get
mega-doses. I literally pleaded with the TSA
attendant to allow me to retrieve my personal
possessions and she refused. I was traveling alone
(as I often do). I then pleaded with her to allow me
to at least be in the line of sight of my wallet and cell
phone and she again ordered me – again in a loud
voice – to remain still. She was demanding, harsh
and unyielding. I kept thinking to myself, 'This is
what happens when you opt out. You lose your
wallet and your laptop. Very, very effective."
• Stan: "I have not undergone the 'porno scan' and
will not do so when the time comes to do it."
• Beth: "The TSA pat downs are a major violation –
groping is not appropriate! I was groped once in
China and didn't like it one bit. I had to resist the
urge of slapping the person in the face!"
• Dotty: "It was nearly midnight as I entered the Las
Vegas airport on a mobility scooter to fly to Hawaii
for a niece's wedding. I told the TSA agent that I
wouldn't go through the 'naked machine' but
preferred to hobble through the metal detector. The
supervisor was called and screamed at me for
between 7 and 12 minutes straight, saying I was
rude for being scared of her agents. She said the
machine didn't show people naked and showed me a
sample picture of a scan to prove it. I pointed out the
man's genitals on the sample picture which made
her even more angry. 'That's just because you're
looking for them,' she yelled."
The options now are to have a full-body scan

that essentially produces a nude image of the
passenger or opt out of that procedure and
endure a full-hands-on body pat-down that
includes private parts.
The procedures have been the focus of warnings even by the
networks:
George Donnelly, who with James Babb has launched the "We
Won't Fly" website delivering a message directly to airlines, told
WND the customer revolt is taking off faster than he could
imagine.
His website says, "We do not consent to strip searches,
virtual or otherwise. We do not wish to be guinea pigs for
new, and possibly dangerous, technology. We are not
criminals. We are your customers. We will not beg the
government anymore. We will simply stop flying until the
porno-scanners are history.
"We will not be abused simply for the privilege of
purchasing your services. We demand the airlines make
their maximum lobbying effort in support of our, your
customers', rights and liberties. We are eager to fly again,
but only when this invasive threat has been contained."
There also are dozens of other campaigns and efforts being
organized through which passengers are encouraged to resist the
TSA policy.
WND previously has reported that such imaging also is taking
place on U.S. roads and highways.

PETITION TO STOP
'ENHANCED' AIRPORT
SCREENING
TECHNIQUES NOW!
To: Barack Obama, Janet Napolitano and all
members of the U.S. Congress:
Whereas, the Transportation Security Administration

recently commenced "enhanced" airport screening procedures
that include invasive and humiliating full-body scans that result
in the display of a graphic image of each passenger's naked body
to be scrutinized by a TSA agent – a virtual strip search;
Whereas, the Transportation Security Administration

also began, at the same time, to subject all who choose not
to undergo the indignity of the full-body scan, new and
more aggressive ("enhanced") open-hand pat-down
procedures to be used on men, women and children, which
include manual contact with their breasts and genitalia;
Whereas, requiring such a degrading and invasive

search of passengers and flight crews utterly ignores the
Fourth Amendment, which says, "'The right of the people
to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated";
Whereas, full-body scans produced by backscatter X-

ray machines create radiation potentially harmful to
frequent fliers and airline crew members, prompting the
world's largest independent airline pilot association – the
American Pilots Association, representing about 12,000
pilots – to strongly warn its members to avoid the new
screening;
Whereas, generating naked images of minor

passengers arguably amounts to the creation of illegal
child pornography;
Whereas, these new procedures, being massively

unpopular, humiliating, immoral and subject to horrific
abuse, are certain to result in an increased aversion to
flying on the public's part, which in turn will further hurt
the airline industry and cause the country as a whole even
more economic difficulties:
SIGN THE PETITION
We, the undersigned, call for the immediate suspension
of the enhanced security screening procedures and an
apology to the American public by Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano for directing the
implementation of this ill-advised program.

Tired of airport abuse? Tell off Napolitano
Petition cites Constitution in demanding halt to
'naked body' images
WorldNetDaily
WASHINGTON – Just one day after establishing an e-mail hotline
address for travelers to report first-hand the abuse they suffer at the
hands of Transportation Security Administration personnel, a
petition has been launched to tell President Obama, Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and members of Congress all
about the problem.
The petition targets the decision-makers in Washington who could

bring the invasive procedures to a screeching halt.
"We, the undersigned, call for the immediate suspension of the

enhanced security screening procedures and an apology to the
American public by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
for directing the implementation of this ill-advised program," says
the petition.
It's reasons are clear:

Whereas, the Transportation Security Administration recently
commenced "enhanced" airport screening procedures that include
invasive and humiliating full-body scans that result in the display
of a graphic image of each passenger's naked body to be

"I personally canceled family travel plans this week as a result of

The policies of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
must be reversed, and they must be reversed before Thanksgiving.
Those forced to travel under these conditions can help stop it by
making the rest of America aware of the abuse," he said.
"WND has had great success with these petition campaigns – most
notably resulting in the release from prison of Border Patrol agents
Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. In addition, a similar petition
led to the historic success of the 'Send Congress a Pink Slip'
campaign that generated 9 million notices delivered to Congress
heralding the results of the mid-term election in which a record
number of incumbents were turned out of office," he said.
"One thing for certain is that Washington knows it cannot afford to

ignore the grievance letters we generate to our elected and
appointed officials," he said.
The new screening protocols subject passengers to a virtual "strip
search" by being required to undergo a humiliating full-body scan,
resulting in the display of a graphic image of their naked body to
be scrutinized by a TSA agent.
If they choose to "opt out" of the full-body scan, they are forced
instead to undergo the same kind of aggressive pat-down that
criminals and drug-dealers get, including direct manual contact
with their breasts and genitalia. Children are not exempt.
Commentators have argued such degrading and invasive searches

violate passengers' Fourth Amendment guarantee to be "secure in
their persons … against unreasonable searches and seizures."
Further, there have been raised questions about whether such
images of children amount to the creation of illegal child
pornography. In the U.K. children were exempt from a test of the
technology.

TSA checkpoints: Real-life horrors

'Security is one thing; license to molest people is
another'
Logo for campaign to halt air travel
Editor's Note: Some of the links in this report lead to graphic

images that have been taken from current airport security scanning
procedures. Use caution in viewing the links.
Dozens of real-life horror stories have poured into WND in the 24

hours since a special hotline e-mail was set up to allow people to
report their close encounters of the TSA kind, including a 70-year-
old whose fudge "contraband" was discovered, a Los Angeles
passenger who was "groped" four times and a man who was the
target of a TSA screaming fit when he chose to opt-out of the
"porno scan."
Just a day earlier, WND reported on the growing movement by

activists and citizens to push back against Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano's plans for "enhanced" screening at
airport checkpoints.
Sign the petition calling for the suspension of the enhanced
security searches.
The options now are to have a full-body scan that essentially

produces a nude image of the passenger or opt out of that
procedure and endure a full-hands-on body pat-down that includes
private parts.
The procedures have been the focus of warnings even by the

networks:
A passenger named Barbara wrote to WND: "Coming directly

from a 2-week hospital stay, arriving in a wheelchair, unable to
walk or stand, and just less than 2 hours out of the hospital, I was
met by the 'security' folks who seemed angered that I couldn't walk
through their scan. Instead, in front of everyone, I was groped like
a rapist might attack a victim. The probing certainly did not help
alleviate the intense pain I had when I arrived at the airport.
Shameful and inconsiderate behavior, totally inexcusable! I am an
84-year-old white female, 4'10", 110 lbs. and don't look like a
terrorist or a terrorist's companion !!!!!! What happened to
common sense???"
Another passenger, David, told WND he traveled to attend a

sister's funeral in Los Angeles and found the security procedures at
LAX "like a racist homosexual grope fest."
"This screener made me turn all my pockets inside out, patted me
down four times, being particularly attentive to my crotch and butt.
I asked him if he just wanted me to strip down naked and he said
go ahead. My wife then approached a nearby sheriff, who brought
these violations of my privacy, and person, to a halt," said the
passenger, who described himself as a "middle class white guy."
"Oh yeah, it took him half an hour to maul me, misplaced my

boarding pass, and almost made me miss my flight. Security is one
thing, but a license to molest people is another," he said.
Your explanation of a lot of issues, in "Constitutional Chaos: What

Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws,"
Another writer, Roger, took the issue directly to its heart.

"If and when we have to travel by air tell them (airlines) we will
not go through any new body scan, nor be groped. If they attempt
to grope I will cancel the flight and sue them!"
Another woman wrote of being held up at an Alabama airport by

computer failure en route to the funeral of a family friend. In her
words:
Finally, a Delta agent checked again for me and said, "Yes, there is
a flight I can put you on, but it leaves in 5 minutes, here is your
ticket and boarding pass, RUN." So I did and [he] came with me.
He told the situation to the first TSA agent and there weren't many
people in that line, so I moved quickly up to the security check. A
man, was scanning my OVERNIGHT bag (no big luggage at all)
and my purse and motioning me through. A big stern-looking
African American woman stopped him and said that she needed to
pat me down, wan[d] me, go through my luggage, etc. The other
TSA man told her that my flight was about to leave and that he
knew that my purse and bag were fine. I was wearing open flip-
flops, a cotton skirt and a t-shirt. I am as American looking as
apple-pie! Then my nightmare started. She had me spread my legs
and she SLOWLY frisked me. Then I said, "Can I go now, my
flight is so important to me, I'm attending a funeral?" That made
her furious. She informed me that I was NOT co-operating with
her and that she was IN CHARGE, and that crying (I was sobbing)
would not do me any good at all with her. The other TSA officer
begged her to let me catch my flight, … she blew him off.
The result was that the woman, Lana, missed her flight and the
funeral.
Margaret, who endured a "pat-down" in Chicago, wrote, "This
entire thing is bull----; assault and battery by a goon, or naked
pictures. That's now the choice? What has happened to this
country?"
TSA officials responded to a WND e-mail requesting comment,

but for the second straight day, declined to answer any questions
about their procedures, the public's reaction to it or how they are
dealing with complaints.
Another passenger, Mark, told WND that nothing will happen

"until the American people are willing to be in the faces of the
Washington establishment, 24/7, for days at a time; until they run
into protests and protesters everywhere they turn."
It was "Frances" who was caught with fudge.
Her trip was out of Minneapolis.
"All seemed to be fine. But the TSA employee asked me to step

aside to the table. She needed to see what was in the carry-on. I
knew there couldn't be anything suspicious in the bag, so I thought
this was just a 'random' thing. (And we all know how many
terrorists have been caught by 'random' screenings). But, no, it
wasn't random at all. The screener at the belt saw something in the
bag he 'didn't like,'" she told WND.
"My trip had been to Wisconsin. While there I had purchased eight
pounds of fudge at a fudge shop. It was packaged in eight-one
pound boxes. The boxes fit snugly in the bottom of the carry-on.
… The TSA employee asked me to empty the contents on to the
table and open up each and every one of the boxes. I tried to tell
her it was just fudge. But, she was the almighty TSA, not to be
denied. They have all that power and, OH, how they love to use it.
She then called yet another TSA person over to examine the
'contraband.' By this time I'm sure she realized it was just what I
said it was – fudge. But she had to justify herself. I was expecting a
SWAT team, with automatic weapons to swoop down on me at any
time. (I'm not sure, but I thought I heard the strains of 'Valkyrie' in
the background.) Also, by this time, the aroma of fudge could be
smelled throughout the terminal. Finally, they all agreed it was just
fudge," she said.
One reader suggested that it be mandatory for members of

Congress and the administration to go through the screening, while
another wondered why, if the scanned images are so innocuous,
people aren't allowed to see themselves.
"It's such an easy way to alleviate the public's concerns yet the
TSA does not offer it. Why don't they just post the full size and
resolution images and make me eat my words? Also no one seems
to be answering my question regarding the ability for the TSA to
store images on a USB flash drive via the required USB ports in
'airport mode.' So many easy ways to shut us up but the TSA
refuses to do so," he wrote.
George Donnelly, who with James Babb has launched the "We
Won't Fly" website delivering a message directly to airlines, told
WND the customer revolt is taking off faster than he could
imagine.
"Dozens of e-mails, personal stories, tons of comments all over the

web," are how he described his day's response. He said there's a
team of consumers working on an ad to be placed in the New York
Times, and a series of "educational events," or protests, that are
being developed for major airports across the country.
His website says, "We do not consent to strip searches, virtual or

otherwise. We do not wish to be guinea pigs for new, and possibly
dangerous, technology. We are not criminals. We are your
customers. We will not beg the government anymore. We will
simply stop flying until the porno-scanners are history.
"We will not be abused simply for the privilege of purchasing your
services. We demand the airlines make their maximum lobbying
effort in support of our, your customers', rights and liberties. We
are eager to fly again, but only when this invasive threat has been
contained."
One sarcastic proposal was for an educational book for children,

with the title "My first Cavity Search: Helping your child
understand why he may pose a threat to National Security."
It features two TSA agents wearing plastic gloves, with one

holding a flashlight and a probe.
One computer technology expert who contacted WND said he

wondered about the "training" processes used to prepare TSA
workers to scream at people for opting out of the full-body scan, as
well as the ways of teaching such coercive procedures.
"They would have to deal with the screeners, training them to be

desensitized to what they're actually doing," he suggested.
Even on the TSA's own blog, the federal agency was receiving
little compassion.
"HappyToHelp" quoted an earlier commenter: "When I take my

child to the doctor, I don't leave him alone with the doctor and
hope that he isn't a perv. I'm there with him to monitor the situation
so nothing can happen. If it's me, I can make a scene on the spot,
have legal resource and can sue my doctor. It greatly mitigates the
risk."
But, "HappyToHelp" noted on the TSA blog, "We don't have that
option with TSA. There's no accountability, and I can't see the
person who's viewing me or my kid. They're not in view so I can't
see what they're doing. TSA has shown itself not to be trustworthy.
So if I monitor my doctors, and I generally trust them, why
SHOULDN'T we monitor TSA, who we CAN'T trust."
One organization already is promoting a National Opt-Out Day

and is encouraging every passenger on the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving to opt out of the full-body scanning.
"No naked body scanners, no government-approved groping. We

have a right to privacy and buying a plane ticket should not mean
that we're guilty until proven innocent," the site said.
There also are dozens of other campaigns and efforts being

organized through which passengers are encouraged to resist the
TSA policy.
All-Africa reported that agents in Nigeria were amusing

themselves by watching the nude images of female passengers, and
in Miami, a screener who himself went through the screening
attacked a colleague after he was ribbed by others who saw his
body parts on a scanner.
The scanning already has generated opposition in Congress. There,

the U.S. House voted 310-118 in support of an amendment from
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, to prohibit whole-body imaging as a
primary screening. However, senators let the plan die.
WND previously has reported that such imaging also is taking
place on U.S. roads and highways.

High-tech airport scans work — too well, say
opponents
What does a screener see when looking at a full-body scan image? Read the story.
WASHINGTON — Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's failed attempt to blow up
Northwest Flight 253 last week has revived a battle in Congress over the use of
whole-body imaging technology to screen airline passengers.
Some legislators argue that the machines, which cost about $170,000 each and
are in use at 19 U.S. airports, could have detected the explosive powder the 23-
year-old Nigerian was carrying and should be approved for widespread use.
Abdulmutallab didn't go through the whole-body scanner at Amsterdam's
Schiphol airport before he boarded the Northwest flight to Detroit.
Others, however, call a whole-body scan a "virtual strip search" that should be
used only if there's probable cause to assume that someone might be carrying
explosives.
In June, the House of Representatives voted 310-118 to prohibit the widespread

use of whole-body imaging technology as a primary tool for airport screening, a
measure introduced by Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah.
Rep. Tom McClintock, a California Republican who co-sponsored the legislation

however, called the scanning "a virtual strip search" and said security officials
can use less invasive methods such as bomb-sniffing dogs to detect explosives.
"It is precisely the same as being pulled into a side room and being ordered to
remove your clothes physically," he said. "In either event, your nude image is
being inspected by several security guards."
However, another California Republican, Rep. Dan Lungren, who's been

promoting the technology for four years, said the Christmas Day incident should
help support his cause when Congress reconvenes in January.
"This is a specific example of what can happen," he said.
Lungren said he was screened by one of the machines at Washington Reagan

National airport.
"They said to me as I'm standing there, 'So you have an artificial hip, and it's
your right hip,' " Lungren said. "And I said, 'Yes, that's right.' And they said,
'Oh, it looks like you left some change in your pocket.' "
Lungren said the machines are less invasive than being patted down by a security
guard.
"I would much prefer this. . . . I would rather not have hands on me frankly," he
said.
The technology picked up a key endorsement over the weekend from Sen. Joe
Lieberman, the head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
"Those privacy concerns, which are frankly mild, have to fall in the face of the
ability of these machines to detect material like this explosive on this individual,"
the Connecticut independent said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday."
As testing of the technology continues, the Transportation Security

Administration said the machines are being used for primary screening at six
U.S. airports: San Francisco, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Miami, Albuquerque,
N.M., and Tulsa, Okla. Thirteen other airports are using them for secondary
screening: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Ronald Reagan Washington National, Atlanta,
Baltimore-Washington, Denver, Detroit, Dallas-Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Fla.,
Tampa, Fla., Indianapolis, Raleigh-Durham, N.C., and Richmond, Va.
The conservative McClintock said the Christmas Day incident raises questions of
why a person on a terrorist watch list had been allowed to enter the country and
why U.S. authorities hadn't revoked his visa, which British officials did.
"I think we need to make a distinction between an 81-year-old grandmother ...

and a 23-year-old Nigerian national who's already on the terrorist watch list and
who's already had his visa revoked by Great Britain," he said.
McClintock has an unlikely ally: the American Civil Liberties Union.
In a background paper, the ACLU said that government officials are "essentially
taking a naked picture of air passengers" and that air travelers shouldn't be
required to display personal details of their bodies as a prerequisite to boarding a
plane.
"Those images reveal not only our private body parts, but also intimate medical
details like colostomy bags," the ACLU said. "That degree of examination
amounts to a significant — and for some people humiliating — assault on the
essential dignity of passengers that citizens in a free nation should not have to
tolerate."
Lungren, who's been working on the issue since he headed a homeland security
subcommittee, said that the screening must show private parts to make sure that
explosives are not hidden there. The Nigerian suspect was found carrying the
explosive material in his underwear.
Advocates of the screening say they've incorporated safeguards to assure

privacy. For example, faces are blurred, and the security officer who views the
image never sees the passenger because he's viewing a monitor in a nearby room.

airport body-scan radiation

Will Airport Body Scans Put Your Health
at Risk?
The U.S. is gearing up to place full-body scanners in more airports early this
year, but some travelers wonder about the effects of their radiation.
By Leah Zerbe
Although the radiation levels scans emit are considered extremely low, if you still feel
uncomfortable, know that you have the right to other search methods.
New scanners at the airport will leave you with nothing to hide.
RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—In response to a failed Christmas-day
attempt to blow up a plane over Detroit, the U.S. Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) is moving forward with plans to
place 150 more full-body scanning machines in U.S. airports in the
coming months. The machines will allow security workers to
virtually undress passengers, checking to make sure they aren't
hiding any metallic or nonmetallic weapons, drugs, or explosives.
The announcement is getting mixed responses, including criticism
from privacy-rights activists, support from security experts, and
questions from passengers concerned about their health. The words
"body scan" are causing some worry among health-conscious air
travelers, partly because last month the journal Archives of
Internal Medicine published studies estimating that the radiation
levels from medical CT scans cause more than 20,000 new cancers
a year. (Currently, about 70 million scans a year are performed in
the U.S., compared to just 3 million in 1980.) However, before you
worry yourself sick over exposure, it's important to understand the
radiation dose of these machines, and also your rights as a U.S.
citizen in line at a security checkpoint.
THE DETAILS: There are two types of body scanners being put
into place. Millimeter-wave imaging-technology units do not
produce ionizing radiation, the kind we're exposed to when we get
X-rays, or, in much higher doses, when we have CT scans.
Currently, there are 40 millimeter-wave scanning machines already
in use in 19 U.S. airports. They are used as either the primary
screening machines that passengers walk through, or more
commonly, for secondary or random screenings. The other type of
body scanning that has been tested by TSA uses backscatter
technology, which does produce small amounts of ionizing
radiation by using extremely weak X-rays. After testing them in a
pilot program, the administration has 150 of these machines on
order, and they will be deployed to U.S. airports in the coming
months.
WHAT IT MEANS: The first step is to put the radiation exposure
in perspective. According to TSA, the amount of radiation you're
exposed to during a two-second millimeter-wave scan exposes you
to radio-wave radiation that is 10,000 times less powerful than
radiation levels that pulse from a cellphone. A backscatter scan
exposes you to the same amount of radiation you would experience
during two minutes of a cross-country or ocean plane flight, thanks
to cosmic radiation in the atmosphere. According to the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP), a
traveler subjected to at least 2,500 backscatter scans a year would
barely reach the Negligible Individual Dose. In same report, NCRP
found that a traveler subjected to at least 2,500 backscatter scans
per year would barely reach the Negligible Individual Dose.
However, the report does stress that records need to be kept to

ensure that radiation levels of backscatter machines remain stable
and below the limit. In an American College of Radiology release,
Mayo Clinic neuroradiologist Peter Kalina, MD, voices concerns
over machine maintenance and record keeping, particularly if
developing countries adopt the security practice. "As a traveler, I
don't know who's checked that machine or equipment. Can I be
sure there won't be a larger dose of radiation coming from it?" Dr.
Kalina asks.
If you're concerned about airport body-scan radiation,
remember these tips:
• Take steps to reduce bigger sources of radiation. Research is
mixed when it comes to the safety of cellphones and nonionizing
radiation risk. But if you want to practice the precautionary
principle, choose texting over putting a phone to your ear to talk,
because radiation exposure significantly drops off when the phone
is three feet from your head. If you want to chat, opt for an air-tube
headset and keep the phone several feel from your body. To lower
the amount of radiation you're exposed to through medical tests,
check out these two Rodale.com stories: Is That Scan Really
Necessary and Are We Scanning Ourselves Sick?
• Know your rights. If you feel uncomfortable going through
advanced-imaging airport body-scan machines, know that you do
have the right to an alternative search, although it may be in the
form of a more invasive pat-down-type search by a security
worker. In addition, some people may want to avoid the scans for
medical reasons—about 5 percent of the general public is
radiosensitive, including women who carry the BRCA1 and
BRCA2 breast cancer genes. TSA says that fliers with pacemakers
should notify airport security of the condition because other forms
of screening may be necessary, such as a pat down or hand-
wanding.

Full Body Scanners FAQ

by Carolyn · 1 comment
On Christmas Day in 2009, a terrorist attempted to blow up Northwest
Airlines Flight 253, with plastic explosives that were sewn into his pants.
Dubbed the “Underwear Bomber”, this incident sparked a flurry of activity
for the TSA (Transportation Security Administration). Measures were
taken to tighten security, in order to avoid having any other explosives ever
make it past security checkpoints. One of the security measures that has
recently been subject to a lot of controversy, is the “Full Body Scanners”
that have begun to make their way into airports.
What is a Full Body Scanner?
A full body scanner is a device that is able to detect items hidden under
clothing. The scanner does this by creating a full 3-D image of a person,
complete with detailed body contours. The scanners are effective at
detecting contraband that may be hidden on a person’s body.
How Does a Full Body Scanner Work?
There are currently two different types of scanning technology that are used
in full body scanners: millimeter wave scanners, and backscatter scanners.
A millimeter wave scanner is able to use radio waves that are of extremely
high frequencies, which are decoded in order to produce a 3-D image. A
backscatter scanner makes use of high-energy rays that scatter when they
hit solid materials. This allows a backscatter scanner to create a detailed
image of the person being scanned.
An example of one type of Full Body Scanner.
Do Full Body Scanners Take Nude Pictures?

A full body scanner is able to strip away any items of clothing that a person
is wearing, essentially producing a nude representation of a person. This
allows the person screening the scans to see details that could represent
concealed objects. However, it is true that the full body scanner does
produce a “naked” representation of airline passengers, which is why full
body scanners are subject to so much controversy.
Which Airports Have Full Body Scanners?

Currently, there are 40 active full body scanners at 19 different airports.
Albuquerque International Airport (ABQ)

Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL)
Baltimore-Washington International (BWI)
Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport (DFW)
Denver International Airport (DEN)
Detroit Metro Wayne County Airport (DTW)
Indianapolis International Airport (IND)
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)
Las Vegas-McCarran Airport (LAS)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Miami International Airport (MIA)
Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)
Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)
Richmond International Airport (RIC)
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Tampa International Airport (TPA)
Tulsa International Airport (TUL)
Washington DC’s Reagan National (DCA)
Amsterdam-Schipol Airport (AMS)
However, there are 11 more airports that are currently in the process of
receiving them. This list includes:
Boston Logan International Airport

Chicago O’Hare International Airport
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
Mineta San Jose International Airport
Los Angeles International Airport
Port Columbus Unternational Airport
Oakland International Airport
San Diego International Airport
Kansas City International Airport
Charlotte Douglas International Airport
By the end of this year, the TSA hopes to have over 450 full body scanners
active in airports across the United States. By 2011, the TSA projects that
over 1200 full body scanners will be used.
Are Full Body Scans Required?
Under the current airport security protocols, you have the right to refuse a
full body scan when boarding a plane. In the event that you refuse, you will
be taken to another location in which you may receive a pat-down, a scan
with a hand-scanner, swabs that can detect explosives, and other tests.
Are Full Body Scanners Open to Abuse?
Much of the controversy about full body scanners centers around the fact
that yes, it is possible for the data images taken by the scanners to be
abused. Concern has particularly been focused on the potential for abuse in
images of celebrities, children and women. The TSA has attempted to
assuage these fears by pledging that the images are deleted after the scan,
and will never be used elsewhere. However, many people still feel
uncomfortable with the possibility that these scan photos represent a breach
in privacy.

The Touchy TSA: It’s not

sexual assault when it’s
the government…
Posted by LaborUnionReport (Profile)
Sunday, November 14th

As a follow up to this morning’s post on the TSA’s torpedoing
of the Constitution comes this disturbing story [via Drudge] of
an incident in San Diego.
On Saturday, a traveler named John Tyner was planning to go
pheasant hunting in South Dakota when he encountered a
cadre blue-shirted of TSA gropers. Unbeknownst to the blue
shirts, Tyner had his cell phone on record.
Other than having, perhaps, the most quotable line of the
week, Tyner’s ordeal demonstrates the severity of a
government out of control, especially when a TSA officer has
no problems with sexual assault when it’s the government doing
it.
During the next half-hour, his cell phone recorded Tyner
refusing to submit to a full body scan, opting for the traditional
metal scanner and a basic “pat down” — and then refusing to
submit to a “groin check” by a TSA security guard.
He even told the guard, “You touch my junk and I’m going to
have you arrested.”
That threat triggered a code red of sorts as TSA agents,
supervisors and eventually the local police gravitated to the
spot where the reluctant traveler stood in his stocking feet, his
cell phone sitting in the nearby bin (which he wasn’t allowed to
touch) picking up the audio.
[snip]
Once he threatened to have the TSA agent arrested though,
events turned surreal.
A supervisor is heard re-explaining the groin check process to
Tyner then adding “If you’re not comfortable with that, we
can escort you back out and you don’t have to fly today.”
Tyner responded “OK, I don’t understand how a sexual
assault can be made a condition of my flying.”
“This is not considered a sexual assault,” replied the
supervisor, calmly.
“It would be if you were not the government,” said Tyner.
“By buying your ticket you gave up a lot of rights,” countered
the TSA supervisor.
“I think the government took them away after 9/11,” said
Tyner.
“OK,” came the reply.
You can read Mr. Tyner’s full account of the incident on his
blog, as well as listen to the audio here [money quote at 3:45].
When a government agent says its okay for physical
molestation to occur because we “gave up a lot of rights” after
9/11, it is time to get them back.

TSA encounter at SAN
[These events took place roughly between 5:30 and 6:30 AM,
November 13th in Terminal 2 of the San Diego International
Airport. I'm writing this approximately 2 1/2 hours after the
events transpired, and they are correct to the best of my
recollection. I will admit to being particularly fuzzy on the exact
order of events when dealing with the agents after getting my
ticket refunded; however, all of the events described did occur.
I had my phone recording audio and video of much of these

events. It can be viewed below.
Please spread this story as far and wide as possible. I will make
no claims to copyright or otherwise.]
This morning, I tried to fly out of San Diego International

Airport but was refused by the TSA. I had been somewhat
prepared for this eventuality. I have been reading about the
millimeter wave and backscatter x-ray machines and the possible
harm to health as well as the vivid pictures they create of
people's naked bodies. Not wanting to go through them, I had
done my research on the TSA's website prior to traveling to see
if SAN had them. From all indications, they did not. When I
arrived at the security line, I found that the TSA's website was
out of date. SAN does in fact utilize backscatter x-ray machines.
I made my way through the line toward the first line of

"defense": the TSA ID checker. This agent looked over my
boarding pass, looked over my ID, looked at me and then back at
my ID. After that, he waved me through. SAN is still operating
metal detectors, so I walked over to one of the lines for them.
After removing my shoes and making my way toward the metal
detector, the person in front of me in line was pulled out to go
through the backscatter machine. After asking what it was and
being told, he opted out. This left the machine free, and before I
could go through the metal detector, I was pulled out of line to
go through the backscatter machine. When asked, I half-
chuckled and said, "I don't think so." At this point, I was
informed that I would be subject to a pat down, and I waited for
another agent.
A male agent (it was a female who had directed me to the

backscatter machine in the first place), came and waited for me
to get my bags and then directed me over to the far corner of the
area for screening. After setting my things on a table, he turned
to me and began to explain that he was going to do a "standard"
pat down. (I thought to myself, "great, not one of those gropings
like I've been reading about".) After he described, the pat down,
I realized that he intended to touch my groin. After he finished
his description but before he started the pat down, I looked him
straight in the eye and said, "if you touch my junk, I'll have you
arrested." He, a bit taken aback, informed me that he would
have to involve his supervisor because of my comment.
We both stood there for no more than probably two minutes

before a female TSA agent (apparently, the supervisor) arrived.
She described to me that because I had opted out of the
backscatter screening, I would now be patted down, and that
involved running hands up the inside of my legs until they felt
my groin. I stated that I would not allow myself to be subject to a
molestation as a condition of getting on my flight. The supervisor
informed me that it was a standard administrative security check
and that they were authorized to do it. I repeated that I felt what
they were doing was a sexual assault, and that if they were
anyone but the government, the act would be illegal. I believe
that I was then informed that if I did not submit to the
inspection, I would not be getting on my flight. I again stated
that I thought the search was illegal. I told her that I would be
willing to submit to a walk through the metal detector as over
80% of the rest of the people were doing, but I would not be
groped. The supervisor, then offered to go get her supervisor.
I took a seat in a tiny metal chair next to the table with my

belongings and waited. While waiting, I asked the original agent
(who was supposed to do the pat down) if he had many people
opt out to which he replied, none (or almost none, I don't
remember exactly). He said that I gave up a lot of rights when I
bought my ticket. I replied that the government took them away
after September 11th. There was silence until the next supervisor
arrived. A few minutes later, the female agent/supervisor arrived
with a man in a suit (not a uniform). He gave me a business card
identifying him as David Silva, Transportation Security
Manager, San Diego International Airport. At this point, more
TSA agents as well as what I assume was a local police officer
arrived on the scene and surrounded the area where I was being
detained. The female supervisor explained the situation to Mr.
Silva. After some quick back and forth (that I didn't
understand/hear), I could overhear Mr. Silva say something to
the effect of, "then escort him from the airport." I again offered
to submit to the metal detector, and my father-in-law, who was
near by also tried to plead for some reasonableness on the TSA's
part.
The female supervisor took my ID at this point and began taking
some kind of report with which I cooperated. Once she had
finished, I asked if I could put my shoes back on. I was allowed
to put my shoes back on and gather my belongs. I asked, "are we
done here" (it was clear at this point that I was going to be
escorted out), and the local police officer said, "follow me". I
followed him around the side of the screening area and back out
to the ticketing area. I said apologized to him for the hassle, to
which he replied that it was not a problem.
I made my way over to the American Airlines counter, explained

the situation, and asked if my ticket could be refunded. The
woman behind the counter furiously typed away for about 30
seconds before letting me know that she would need a supervisor.
She went to the other end of the counter. When she returned, she
informed me that the ticket was non-refundable, but that she was
still trying to find a supervisor. After a few more minutes, she
was able to refund my ticket. I told her that I had previously had
a bad experience with American Airlines and had sworn never to
fly with them again (I rationalized this trip since my father-in-
law had paid for the ticket), but that after her helpfulness, I
would once again be willing to use their carrier again.
At this point, I thought it was all over. I began to make my way to

the stairs to exit the airport, when I was approached by another
man in slacks and a sport coat. He was accompanied by the
officer that had escorted me to the ticketing area and Mr. Silva.
He informed me that I could not leave the airport. He said that
once I start the screening in the secure area, I could not leave
until it was completed. Having left the area, he stated, I would be
subject to a civil suit and a $10,000 fine. I asked him if he was
also going to fine the 6 TSA agents and the local police officer
who escorted me from the secure area. After all, I did exactly
what I was told. He said that they didn't know the rules, and that
he would deal with them later. They would not be subject to civil
penalties. I then pointed to Mr. Silva and asked if he would be
subject to any penalties. He is the agents' supervisor, and he
directed them to escort me out. The man informed me that Mr.
Silva was new and he would not be subject to penalties, either.
He again asserted the necessity that I return to the screening
area. When I asked why, he explained that I may have an
incendiary device and whether or not that was true needed to be
determined. I told him that I would submit to a walk through the
metal detector, but that was it; I would not be groped. He told me
that their procedures are on their website, and therefore, I was
fully informed before I entered the airport; I had implicitly
agreed to whatever screening they deemed appropriate. I told
him that San Diego was not listed on the TSA's website as an
airport using Advanced Imaging Technology, and I believed that
I would only be subject to the metal detector. He replied that he
was not a webmaster, and I asked then why he was referring me
to the TSA's website if he didn't know anything about it. I again
refused to re-enter the screening area.
The man asked me to stay put while he walked off to confer with
the officer and Mr. Silva. They went about 20 feet away and
began talking amongst themselves while I waited. I couldn't over
hear anything, but I got the impression that the police officer
was recounting his version of the events that had transpired in
the screening area (my initial refusal to be patted down). After a
few minutes, I asked loudly across the distance if I was free to
leave. The man dismissively held up a finger and said, "hold
on". I waited. After another minute or so, he returned and asked
for my name. I asked why he needed it, and reminded him that
the female supervisor/agent had already taken a report. He said
that he was trying to be friendly and help me out. I asked to what
end. He reminded me that I could be sued civilly and face a
$10,000 fine and that my cooperation could help mitigate the
penalties I was facing. I replied that he already had my
information in the report that was taken and I asked if I was free
to leave. I reminded him that he was now illegally detaining me
and that I would not be subject to screening as a condition of
leaving the airport. He told me that he was only trying to help (I
should note that his demeanor never suggested that he was trying
to help. I was clearly being interrogated.), and that no one was
forcing me to stay. I asked if tried to leave if he would have the
officer arrest me. He again said that no one was forcing me to
stay. I looked him in the eye, and said, "then I'm leaving". He
replied, "then we'll bring a civil suit against you", to which I
said, "you bring that suit" and walked out of the airport.
This video starts with my bag and belongings going through the x-ray
machine.They're kind of long, and they don't show much, but the audio is really
good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?

I was in the middle of telling someone that if I was going to be felt up, I wanted it
done in public so that everyone could see what it is that the TSA does. Here is the
rest of that video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Public Protests as TSA Torpedoes
Constitution
Janet Napolitano's Smurf Brigade's Fondling & Frisking Arouses

Controversy
Sunday, November 14th
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a

little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin
________________
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s Let’s Make a
Deal approach to keeping America’s airports secure isn’t
generating too many fans. Perhaps it’s because the choices given
are so insulting to the rights enjoyed by a free people:
Door #1: Have nude pictures of yourself beamed to some video
monitor to be viewed by a total stranger where it may or may
not be stored; or,
Door #2: Allow yourself to be groped, poked, patted down, felt
up, frisked, and squeezed at the hands of some police academy
reject in a Smurf-blue uniform [Photo: Kim Kardashian at
LAX]; or…
Door #3: Don’t travel.
Worse is the fact that, if you have children, you

have the same choices to make on their behalf:
• Have nude images of your kids viewed (and stored?) by
strangers,
• Subject your kids to physical molestation, or Cancel your
trip.
TSA lawsuit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
feature=player_embedded&v=8dNbhtjVUIw
I’ve got to admit that, as a frequent flyer, I’ve sort of gotten used to
being frisked. Perhaps airport security screeners confuse old bikers
in Harley shirts with Al Quaeda, but the pat downs have been an
almost regular occurrence since 9/11. While most of the pat downs
over the years have been of the generic sort, a few after 9/11
seemed to be going a little too far as well—the fingers inside the
waistline by an officer of the opposite sex was one such
memorable occasion.
It wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago, however, while traveling
through an airport in the Midwest that I received the double
treatment—the body imaging device and the pat down (no open
palms on the genitals though) that the Smurfs began to get
annoying. At the same time, the pilots’ and flight attendants’
unions began to grumble that their members were being
traumatized by the TSA’s new security measures.
Since then, the controversy has grown considerably and Janet
Napolitano is faced with trying to appease a variety of
constituencies while remaining seemingly resolved to infringe on
Americans’ constitutional right to be “secure in their persons…
against unreasonable searches.”
One individual has started a website called optoutday.com, which
suggests that people opt out of the body imaging on November 24,
the day before Thanksgiving (when the volume of air travel is
particularly high). According to the website’s founder, Brian
Sodergren, the goal is to get people to experience the rigorous pat-
down so they can discuss it around the Thanksgiving table:
“Getting a plane ticket doesn’t mean you’re consenting to someone
being able to look under your clothes or feel your genitals,” said
Sodergren during a phone interview with ABC15.
Sodergren wants passengers, pilots and flight attendants to “opt-
out” of the X-ray body scanners and go through the pat down
procedure.
“It’s too much, I don’t want my wife or my child going through the
pat-downs and have their genitals touched, people need to
understand what’s going on,” said Sodergren.
Ironically, Muslim Americans are being forbidden from having
their bodies imaged and the Council on American-Islamic
Relations is recommending the following to Muslim
women who wear jihabs:
• If you are selected for secondary screening after
you go through the metal detector and it does not go
off, and “sss” is not written on your boarding pass,
ask the TSA officer if the reason you are being
selected is because of your head scarf.
• In this situation, you may be asked to submit to a
pat-down or to go through a full body scanner. If you
are selected for the scanner, you may ask to go
through a pat-down instead.
• Before you are patted down, you should remind
the TSA officer that they are only supposed to pat
down the area in question, in this scenario, your head
and neck. They SHOULD NOT subject you to a full-
body or partial-body pat-down.
• You may ask to be taken to a private room for
the pat-down procedure.
• Instead of the pat-down, you can always request
to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck
area, and have the officers perform a chemical swipe
of your hands.
How perfectly Orwellian that, while non-Muslim Americans are
having their Fourth Amendment rights being groped, grabbed and
trampled by Napolitano & her gang, Muslims are being urged to
use the First Amendment’s Freedom of Religion provision to all-
but-ignore the TSA screening measures.
Meanwhile, for those of us who are stuck traveling for a living,
until this gets sorted out, we’ll just suck it up and suck it in, as the
Smurfs continue to get up close and really, really personal.

Napolitano Uses ‘Domestic Terror’ To

Push Body Scanners
November 4, 2010
From 9/11, to the Anthrax attacks, to the “Christmas Day Bomber” to
the “Times Square Fizzler, you can find staged terror on street corners
all across America.
All of this has been a push to get the naked body scanners into our airports,
but the American people have not bought the recent propaganda. There has
been a rebellious presence surrounding the radioactive scanners now
installed in some international airports within the U.S.
However, to the powers that be as well as private corporations tied to

Michael Chertoff (a dual U.S./ Israeli citizen) this is not enough. These
operatives will not settle for only a few naked body scanners in America,
they intend to implement them worldwide.
Here is an ABC article that shows how Janet Napolitano (DHS) is hyping
domestic terrorism in America when the fact of the matter is that most if
not all of the attack/ attempts in the U.S. have been state sponsored.
It is this very rhetoric that allows the establishment and their private
corporations to dupe the masses.
ABC News’ Jason Ryan reports:

Speaking before the International Association of Chiefs
of Police Annual Conference in Florida today
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano provided a more stark assessment of the
domestic threat to the United States and the emergence of
homegrown terrorism domestically.
Although Napolitano has been discussing the issue of
homegrown terrorism more frequently over the past
several months her remarks today were blunt: “We’re
operating under the premise that individuals prepared to
carry out terrorist acts are in the country, and may carry
out these acts of violence with little or no warning,”
Napolitano said before the police group.

New TSA pat-down procedure

expands nationwide
November 1, 2010
If you plan to travel by air during the upcoming holiday season be ready to
undergo a new, more thorough pat-down search procedure at the airport.
The new search technique used by the Transportation Security

Administration allows airport security screeners to use their fingers and
palms to feel and probe for hidden weapons and devices around sensitive
body parts, such as the breast and groin areas.
In the past, TSA officers brushed along those body parts with the back of
their hands to feel for hidden objects.
The TSA tested the more assertive pat-down technique this summer at
airports in Boston and Las Vegas and has expanded the use of the
procedure this weekend to airports nationwide.
"TSA is in the process of implementing new pat-down procedures at

checkpoints nationwide as one of our many layers of security to keep the
traveling public safe," the TSA said in a recent statement.
The manual pat-down procedure will be used on passengers who refuse to

be screened using the 317 new full-body image scanners deployed at 65
airports nationwide. The new technique may also be used on passengers
who evoke suspicion when undergoing other traditional screening
procedures, including walk-through metal detectors.
The ACLU has complained about the full-body scanners and the new pat-
down procedure, saying both violate the privacy of airline passengers.
The full-body scanners use low levels of either radiation or X-rays to create
what looks like a nude image of the passengers to find weapons hidden
under the clothes.
"Americans now must choose between a

virtual strip search and a grope," said
Chris Calabrese, a legislative counsel at the
ACLU.

One Hundred Naked Citizens: One Hundred
Leaked Body Scans
At the heart of the controversy over "body scanners" is a promise:

The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S.
Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on
their scanner. These are those images.
A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs
saved by the Gen 2 millimeter wave scanner from Brijot Imaging
Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently
revealed that U.S. Marshals operating the machine in the Orlando,
Florida courthouse had improperly-perhaps illegally-saved images
of the scans of public servants and private citizens.
We understand that it will be controversial to release these
photographs. But identifying features have been eliminated. And
fortunately for those who walked through the scanner in Florida
last year, this mismanaged machine used the less embarrassing
imaging technique.
Yet the leaking of these photographs demonstrates the security
limitations of not just this particular machine, but millimeter wave
and x-ray backscatter body scanners operated by federal employees
in our courthouses and by TSA officers in airports across the
country. That we can see these images today almost guarantees
that others will be seeing similar images in the future. If you're
lucky, it might even be a picture of you or your family.
While the fidelity of the scans from this machine are of
surprisingly low resolution, especially compared to the higher
resolution "naked scanners" using the potentially harmful x-ray
backscatter technology, the TSA and other government agencies
have repeatedly touted the quality of "Advanced Imaging
Technology" while simultaneously assuring customers that
operators "cannot store, print, transmit or save the image, and the
image." According to the TSA—and of course other agencies—
images from the scanners are "automatically deleted from the
system after it is cleared by the remotely located security officer."
Whatever the stated policy, it's clear that it is trivial for operators
to save images and remove them for distribution if they choose not
to follow guidelines or that other employees could remove images
that are inappropriately if accidentally stored.
To the point, these sample images were removed from the machine
in Orlando by the U.S. Marshals for distribution under the FOIA
request before the machine was sent back to its manufacturer—
images intact.
We look forward to seeing your next vacation photos.

Junk Security: ‘Naked Scanners’ Won’t

Keep Us Safe
In May, Transportation Security Administration screener Rolando

Negrin pummeled a co-worker with his government-issued baton.
The feud began, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department
report, after Mr. Negrin's training session with one of the agency's
whole-body imagers.
The scan "revealed [Mr. Negrin] had a small penis," the
disgruntled co-worker told police. After a few months, he "could
not take the jokes any more and lost his mind."
Now the TSA is rolling out these ultra-revealing imagers across the
country in an attempt to uncover hidden threats like the so-called
underwear bomb found on a Detroit-bound flight last Christmas.
The agency and the scanners' manufacturers insist they've installed
features and instituted procedures that will make passenger
embarrassments impossible. But the larger question is whether the
TSA's tech-centric approach to security makes any sense at all.
Even the most modest of us would probably agree to a brief flash
of quasi-nudity if it would really ensure a safe flight. That's not the
deal the TSA is offering. Instead, the agency is asking for Rolando
Negrin-style revelations in exchange for incremental, ineffable
security improvements against particular kinds of concealed
weapons.
It's the same kind of trade-off TSA implicitly provided when it
ordered us to take off our sneakers (to stop shoe bombs), and to
chuck our water bottles (to prevent liquid explosives). Security
guru and scanner suit plaintiff Bruce Schneier calls it "magical
thinking . . . Descend on what the terrorists happened to do last
time, and we'll all be safe. As if they won't think of something
else." Which, of course, they invariably do. Attackers are already
starting to smuggle weapons in body cavities, going where even
the most adroit body scanners do not tread.
My article in today's Wall Street Journal has more. And it's not all
gloomy skies. There's some hope that the TSA may be changing
course, at least a bit.
New TSA chief John Pistole says the agency has to shift from a
threat-driven outfit into an "intelligence-driven" organization.
There are some signs that such a move may be afoot.
On the night in late October that Saudi intelligence tipped the
American government off to a plot to blow up planes using
explosives packed in printer cartridges, Pistole got a call from
White House counterrrorism czar John Brennan. The TSA was
then able to give new marching orders to everyone from air
marshals to cargo inspectors. An agency team was even dispatched
to Yemen, where the bombs originated. It all seemed shockingly
logical for an agency that's generally appears to be anything but.
The quick response to intelligence and targeted security measures
could provide a partial template for future action. The next step
would be questioning passengers and employing high-sensors
when travelers' behavior or specific threats warrant - instead of
making us all get digitally nude.

Airline Pilots Fight Against TSA Body Scans
Too
Not only individuals are standing up against TSA's body scans and
practices, but the most powerful pilot union in the world is fighting them
too, according to this ALPA security alert sent by a Continental pilot.
Napolitano's enemy list keeps growing.
The Air Line Pilot Association (ALPA) distributed this security alert on
November 12 to its 53,000 members at 38 U.S. and Canadian airlines:
In it, the pilots mention their fruitless talks with US Secretary of Homeland
Security Janet Napolitano and strongly oppose body scans:
ALPA categorically objects to this policy and is currently engaging

government policy makers to bring short-term and long-term relief from
this process to all flight crewmembers.
ALPA is objecting on the grounds that repeated scans could be dangerous

to the health of crewmembers. But, as the Continental Airlines pilot who
sent us the memo says, that's irrelevant. He says that any kind of search on
pilots—and their luggage—is just stupid:
I do agree that pilots don't need to be screened at all. As a pilot, I still have
to pull out my laptop to be screened. Really? Why would I go to the great
lengths of making a laptop bomb when I am at the controls of an airplane?!
If a pilot wants to cause harm, he certainly has ample opportunity.
Indeed. Like the rest of insane TSA rules, it just makes no sense
whatsoever.

How One Man Stood Up To the TSA
We've talked a lot about the controversies surrounding full-body security

scans. Before a recent flight, Isaac Schlueter stood up and opted out.
Here's why... and how.
By now, if you haven't heard the outrage at the TSA's "enhanced" pat-down
procedures, then you don't use the internet, and you're not reading this blog.
They grope children. They touch your junk. The

procedures are ludicrously ineffective and harmful from
a security point of view. And the naked-picture xray
machines are most likely unsafe.
Things like this get me feeling all rebellious and Jeffersonian. So, since I'm
flying up to Joyent's Vancouver offices today, I decided to do a little prep
work.
First, I took the UCSF letter, added a bit of highlighting and annotation to
make it a bit easier to scan, and printed it out. You can get a copy from
http://j.mp/cancer-ray.
I was worried that I'd chicken out. No, not "worried". I was sure I'd chicken
out. Of course I would. I talk a good game about incendiary politics and
unconventional ideals, but when the chips are down, I generally do the
expedient thing like a nice polite citizen. I'm not one of these "talk down
the authorities" types, even though I wish I was.
But then my flight was cancelled, and I learned that I'd have to be in the
airport until 12 to catch the next one. The extra time to kill strengthened my
resolve. "So what if I'm detained?," I thought. "I don't have to be anywhere
for 5 more hours." Plus I was alone, so there wasn't anyone else's
embarrassment to worry about. I repeated the confidence mantras in my
head. They're expendable workers. I own this place. I'm the boss. They
work for me. The only reason I don't fire them is that they're cheaper than
robots. Etc.
I started talking to the family behind me as soon as I got into the security
line, a middle-aged couple with 2 adolescent boys and a girl about 4 or 5.
They were amused by my shoes, so it wasn't too hard to strike up a
conversation.
I asked where they were from. Santa Clara. Heading to Toronto for some
family thing. I asked if they'd heard about the new X-Ray machines. The
dad was tired and apathetic. She said, "Oh, yeah, I heard about those on the
news, that if you don't go through, they grope you or something, and if you
do, they take a naked picture of you."
"Yeah, it's messed up. Did you know that the UCSF oncology department
thinks they pose a serious health risk, especially to children or anyone at
risk for breast cancer?"
"Whoa, no, I didn't know that!"
I handed the paper to the mom. Bam.
"Oh, honey, you should read this!! … Oh my god…"
Turns out she's a breast cancer survivor. And her doctor has told her to
avoid x-rays, even at the dentist, unless absolutely medically necessary.
And she didn't realize that "millimeter wave digital backscatter
detection" used x-rays, because the TSA doesn't actually put that on
the sign.
She did the rest.
When we got to the scanner, I opted out. Then they opted out. She'd already
convinced the family behind them to do the same. Her response to the TSA
agent was awesome, I wish I'd thought of it:
"Ma'am, please step over here."
"No thanks, I've already had cancer, just feel me up or whatever."

After the first 4 "OPT-OUT" calls, they just passed us all through the
regular metal detector. No one got groped.
Information, properly delivered, is power.
Addendum The revolt was emotionally satisfying, and I totally recommend

doing it, but ultimately it's only a drop in the ocean. From where I'm sitting,
I can see the security line, people holding their hands up in the little booth.
So, do make trouble. On-the-ground rebellion is important. But also tell

your legislator. There's a senate oversight meeting tomorrow, so please
call these people and tell them how you feel.
You'll leave a voicemail. It's easy and takes 2 seconds. Just call up and say
"I think that the TSA has gone too far. Body scanning and inappropriate
groping are unconstitutional and wrong. If you want my vote, change the
policy."
Addendum 2 Millimeter wave scanners and Backscatter X-Rays are not

the same thing. But it wasn't clear which one was in use, and the TSA sign
used the terms interchangeably in the fine print where it told you about the
opt-out option.
Also, yes, it's true, the cancer risks are not well understood, and I
absolutely committed the alarmist fallacy. ("But can you really take that
risk!") Unfortunately, people aren't as afraid of a police state as they are of
cancer. I maintain that I used my powers for Good.

Ex-DHS Chertoff's RapeScan X-Ray Scammers: Selling
Police State Cancer to An Airport Near You!
Let’s not forget that former Fatherland Security

secretary Michael Chertoff is the founder of the
Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm
whose clients include manufacturers of full-
body scanners.
“Mr. Chertoff should not be allowed to abuse the

trust the public has placed in him as a former public
servant to privately gain from the sale of full-body
scanners,’’ opined Kate Hanni, founder of
FlyersRights.org, which opposes use of the
scanners.
Chertoff’s group represents Rapiscan,

a California based firm “which until
recently was the only company
qualified to sell full-body scan
machines to the TSA.” Last summer,
“TSA purchased 150 machines from
Rapiscan with $25 million in American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
funds.”

TSA Targets “Smoking Hot” Woman for
Naked Scan; Fondles Children
by Rady Ananda / November 15th, 2010
Are these Transportation security authorities looking
for terrorists or a hard on? Why would 19 agents and
police officers need to handle — and watch — a 20-
something woman who happens to be ‘smoking hot’
get her breasts squeezed and twisted?
Children are fondled, too. Three-year-old Mandy

Simon screams, “STOP TOUCHING ME” when a
woman searches her for weapons.
When law enforcement personnel can’t tell the

difference between a terrorist and a three-year-old
child, they need to go back to investigation school.
One commenter captures my sentiment:
“3-yr-old child, terrorist or pedophile’s wet dream?

TSA cannot tell the difference.”
