The first step is to have people wear the radiation blocking underwear that is now becoming available on the net. Then the person can go through the scanners because the scanners will no longer be able to see their naked body by looking through their clothes. The person can simply say they are wearing the underwear because they want to protect themselves from excessive radiation, not only from the scanners but from ambient radiant radiation waves on the ground and in the air.

As it is now, the TSA is trying to get around the Constitutional mandate against unwarranted search and seizure by saying everyone must go through the scanners and if they refuse, they are in essence ‘choosing’ to get the pat-down. By ‘choosing’ the pat-down, they cannot claim to be searched against their will.

But if someone wears the blocking underwear, then goes through the scanner, then it is the TSA who is deciding to give them a pat-down. The TSA will argue that they are justified in giving the pat-down because of what the person is wearing underneath (legally wearing of course). The argument can then be made that this is not just cause to give a person an intrusive pat-down simply because that person cannot be scanned beneath their clothes.

I can give this analogy. If police wanted to drive down your street and take a video randomly through yours and everyone else’s front window, they can do this legally because what they see is ‘public’. However, if you decide to close the blinds to your front window so that they can no longer see inside, then the police cannot use the one fact that you closed your window blinds as justification for getting a search warrant to enter and search your entire house.

A person has a right to wear clothes that protect him from radiation and clothes piercing cameras in the same way a person has the right to close his window blinds to prevent people from looking in.

But I will add one thing. It is absurd that we need to play these legal games to stop these intrusive searches that skirt the laws of our Constitution. The US government should be ashamed for subjecting millions of law abiding citizens to this treatment every day without cause.

As long as this search remains in effect, NO ONE should be exempt for any reason including airport personnel, congressmen, religious objectors, children, and private plane passengers on planes that could blow up and fall on my home. That is the only way to end this extreme action. Those with the power to end this need to experience this humilitation.

Who profits from this? How much tax money in the form of stimulus has been spent on this? Who owns (owned) stock in this technology? How many more scanners are being manufactured? STOP THIS BY REFUSING TO BE SCANNED ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

How about doing a picket line right outside the airport entrance, with signs saying: “DON’T GO THROUGH THE XRAY SCANNERS TODAY!”?

The phone numbers for the Senators on the committee that regulates these is on this site.

Perhaps if you don’t fly you don’t think this is a big deal. It is hard to imagine. It goes against everything we have been taught about protecting our bodies. Millions have anxiety attacks and many more millions suffer from PTSD from molestation and rape. This is a huge restimulation of the trauma.

I say if we want to secure our borders lets send the TSA workers to our border and let them face REAL terrorists who are coming over by the thousands every day, instead of terrorizing law abiding citizens.
