Oops: Radio talk show hostess opts out of body scan so TSA molests & threatens her. You're next.
Until I saw this I was going to take the kids to Disneyland.
Think I am going to risk them getting singled out for full body scan? Think I want them to witness someone else getting one of their new, improved, punitive pat-downs (in full view of all other passengers who go skating by) that are designed to intimidate onlookers into complying rather than deal with what they end up putting you through? Think I want them to be subject to some perv patting them down? Think I want them to watch me or my wife having to submit to this?
It was my understanding that this was to be an alternate route for people to take who didn't mind getting ogled to go through that was quicker than dealing with the metal detector/pat down thingy.
What if someone opts out because they don't want to get ogled and they just went through some kind of surgery recently and can't be manhandled?
AFAIAC, the whole industry can now go fuc& themselves until this whole thing is reworked. Sometimes I need to fly, oh well. But they can forget any elective travel on my part. Everything from the travel agencies to the economies at the destination of my would-have been travel can forget my money. As can everything in between.
