Alaska lawmaker strikes at TSA in unusual ad
In Alaska, the "You Can See Russia From Here" state, state Rep. Chris Tuck is more concerned about what the U.S. government can see.
Tuck, a conservative Democrat, this week is appearing in an unusual television ad warning travelers that new full-body scanners at Alaska airports will enable airport screeners to "see through your clothes," and advising passengers they can instead opt for a pat-down.
"If you don't want inappropriate pictures of you or your children taken and stored, or if you're concerned about the possible health effects, then all you've got to say is 'I opt out.' It is your right," Tuck says, standing in front of the state seal.
"Instead they will pat you down, and if they touch you inappropriately, call the airport police. This is still a free country," he says in the 30-second spot.
