2. If I were sure I wasn't getting unsafe levels of x-rays, I'd gladly submit to the naked scan.
If they wanna see my old carcass naked, more power to them. But I never trust the government when they look me in the eye and say, "Yes, these machines are safe."

30. If you don't want X-rays, don't fly.
If you don't want to be irradiated at all, don't eat, or breathe.

12. The idiom is a little too close to reality in this case.
Just let us know which plane you'll be on and we'll take the next one. Fair enough?

14. If only airplanes were not the only way to travel, and not just the most convenient
then maybe people would not complain about the searches



But since they are all being forced to fly, completely against their will, they have a valid point about being x-rayed or subject to an invasive search





:sarcasm:

21. For some they are. Obviously you don't have relatives in another country
Or are required to travel for work. Please don't assume your experience is the same as everyone elses.

15. You are not the type of person I would like to fly with...

25. I'll take "Opinions Formed After January 2009, Alex."
Seriously. If this was a Bush-era practice, you wouldn't have posted that.

27. Fine, as long as YOUR ass is searched, too. And I mean that quite literally:
body cavity search.

Everything changed after 9/11, remember?

29. I don't want to fly with authoritarian assholes
Or people who cannot understand that if we give up all our freedoms in the name of security we will have neither.
