TSA pushing to have body scanners nationwide?

[The Northerner]

The Transportation Security Administration has been the subject of criticism by seemingly all who fly in the USA. The TSA is accused of violating privacy when it asks travelers to go through full body scan machines all for the supposed sake of national security. One of the companies behind the controversial equipment is now pushing to have these scanners installed nationwide. So do the full body scanners make us safer? Charlie McGrath, founder of WideAwakeNews.com, joins us for more.

1. We are so fucked.

Between the phony war on terror and the phony war on drugs, we will have no civil rights remaining at all.

2. I'll just do the grope line.

I've decided to take Thom Hartmann's approach: generally, a gentle touch helps surge prolactin hormone, and we feel better. If the screeners will be pleasant about it, I'll take the grope.

On my last trip, we skipped the scanners. Didn't even get patted down. We just went through the magnetometer.

4. Do they make us safer? Hell, no!

and neither do most of the other ridiculous things we're asked to do/endure at airports in the name of "security."

But they do make some people rich. Just ask Michael Chertoff.

6. It is B.S. police state we are becoming. I can't believe our fellow citizens are allowing this to

happen all in the name of security. Sorry we are spitting on the graves of the Founding Fathers.
