These porn scanners are being thrust upon (in) the public because they are corporate welfare. Follow the money.
I assure you that viewing 99.999% of the public nude will prevent nothing. This action however will be abused in ways not thought possible. Follow the money.
Do not believe the so called “safety” of these things. Do not believe that they do not store images (they do).
Follow the money.
You have a right to free speech, use it. Calmly say in a loud voice, “Stop TOUCHING ME in a SEXUAL MANNER!”, when being subjected to an “enhanced pat-down”. Teach your kids to do this (bonus for crying).
Some of the comments in the youtube page are 10 months old, so saying “The Germans have BEGUN this protest against the naked body scanners” doesn’t quite ring true.
Obviously this protest had NO effects whatsoever.
#18, these scanners use millimeter waves, not microwaves or x-rays. The cancer argument with millimeter waves is weak, which is good since radios, wi-fi, cell phones, etc. use millimeter waves.
The invasion of privacy paired with abuse of power is, I think, the real issue.
This is an issue that I hope does not go away. Complaint letters should be filed no matter which way you choose. This is an issue both DEMs and GOP have strong feelings on, and for once they are on the same side.
Some pilots are talking about cancelling flights due to “unreasonable working conditions” if they are harassed by the TSA. I hope some are.
I think #21 has it right, this is about the expensive contract to build these machines, but the airlines have a lot of political clout too, and if customers start cancelling flights due to “enhanced” security measures, the airlines will put on the political pressure.
All it takes is an executive order to end enhanced pat downs, not an act of congress, just 5 minutes of the President’s time.
#30 et al —- you would look like an ass beyond words to describe if some plane was brought down tomorrow or the next day etc. because some Muslim¹ successfully exploded a bomb in flight.

Commie Obamie and Nazi Napolitano are taking this country down. Just like I know would. Napolitano put photo radar cameras with live streaming video all over Arizona. Call your congressional representatives and senators. Hold a protest.
This is just another attempt by scaremongers to have a legal basis for bypassing the constitution. And to the person that said the privacy amendment to the constitution doesn’t guarantee our own bodies, what does “secure in their persons” mean? Yes it does cover our bodies against illegal searches without court order.
And those that allow it are playing right into the Government agenda. We need to protest this three ways – long, hard, and often. Best way to protest: Get Rosie O’Donnell to walk through the scanner. THAT’LL teach them!

Send Janet Napolitano a message.
Funny sidenote, when i want to watch the video here in Germany i get: “Dieses Video ist in deinem Land nicht verfügbar. ”
Which translates to: “This video is not available in your country”

The video is indeed geo-blocked in Germany. What an irony! LOL!
#3 Faxon keeps talking about Muslims. Way to keep up the hate mongering. It is TERRORISTS that hide bombs, not Muslims.
Do you blame all Christians for the terrorist acts of the Irish Republican Army?
Onward Christian Soldiers marching as to war with the cross of Jesus going on before. Nice peaceful sentiment that.
Go Germans! And the TSA protest in America gains momentum, fully clothed for the moment but with eggs. http://hogsatemysister.com/topple-the-tsa-a-sure-fire-10-point-protest/
I’m too old for stripping, having a serious case of SLTP.
SLTP? Scrotum Longer Than Penis.
“Actually, its more a protest against an overbearing US Government that forces such silliness on other Countries as a condition of our “friendship.””
Barack Obama’s TSA in action.

The people that spontaneously get naked in public are almost never people you’d like to see naked.

Pilots do not need to invest money and time into making a bomb…
