Reply #35: well then don't fly, i'm sick of the effin' hysteria

[pitohui]

a bunch of babies screaming that a patdown is sexual assault have suddenly climbed out of the woodwork

what is the point of this? a patdown is NOT sexual assault, it is a safe, cheap, effective alternative to the ionizing radiation and the violation of privacy of the nude-o-scope being rolled out this month...millions of dollars are being spent on these devices which will ultimate result in some people getting cancer and everyone who flies having nude digital images stored "somewhere" out of their control where they can very easily make their way into pervert's photo albums or the internet

a patdown is perfectly safe, it's cheap, it doesn't cause cancer, it doesn't leave a digital record

so you want to pretend the fucking PATDOWN is sexual assault?

sorry, creating a nude digital image of my aging body to keep and drool on against my wishes and without paying me for the use of my image THAT'S sexual assault

i'm really fucking tired of the astro turf

if you think a patdown is invasive, wait until you experience cancer treatment, now THAT'S invasive...and if you think the sellers of the body scanner are going to give you one thin dime toward your chemo think again

how many lives are you willing to destroy to put $ in your pocket? (because there are too many of these stories, all of a sudden, it's obv. planned to come out in time with the roll out of the body scanners across america)
