Opt Out of a Body Scan? Then Brace Yourself

Like someone said, Americans are being treated more like criminals each passing day. Don't these scans eventually cause cancer?

 

It sounds like those airports were initially sucking in the security area and then suddenly started to do the right thing. I bet that happened after homeland security started their spot checks with undercover agents and found faults. Those security measures really suck for travelers but necessary for everyone's safety. If only terrorism did not exist then traveling by air would be so nice again. I hate the security measures and how they MUST show that they are in charge in order to control so many people at any given time. I am a soldier from New York City. I was deployed to Ground Zero that day. It was worse than any horror flick you could ever see!!! Airport security sucks but its good to know you have a much better chance of making it to your final destination with those security measures in tact. No security is 100% effective but I accept it and just think of the good time I will have when the plane lands to get through it...smile.

 

Ugh, sorry to hear you suffered first hand @ 9/11.

I don't believe Israel's El Al has ever had anyone board who blew them up. And they don't body scan.
I don't think this is the answer, frankly.

 

Give me a old fashioned pat down no radiation for me.

 

There was NO mention of Israel's El Al in the text you posted, only USA ariports. If there was a mention then I can not speak on their security procedures, only USA, and I apologize. Its good to hear that they never had any threat in that case. Terrorist have clearly stated that the USA must fall. Kind of tells you which airports I was tasked to protect in the past right? smile. If I was not in the airports of NYC, I was in the damn train stations...sucked!! I hated that duty!!! Im so happy that Homeland Security Exists!!!

 

I agree. Have it be a pretty lady doing it and I'll give her a night stick if she needs one.

No offense to all of you but I'd rather you all get blown up before I go through a machine that shoots out radiation on me.

 

Wowsa, . Well I'm sure we can come to a middle ground there, cowboy.

 

There wasn't a mention. I mentioned it because El Al airline is the #1 target by terrorists. The Israeli army guards their airport. They are vigorous in their security measures which exclude this new venture by American airports, and have thus far been successful. So why not model after them?

 

Yeah, good question. Why not model after them? If it works so well for them I dont see why it cant work for the US too. It can be just another duty post for US military. I bet their army dont have the restrictions that US military would have though. I bet their army is highly respected by civilians too. Sounds like a great idea you have there.

 

Whoa now...I don't know what's worse said by you...

 

I mean the second one. Do you know how many planes crash into buildings? not enough for me to get dosed with radiation.

 

Talk about a bad day, you have to play dodge the car on the way to port, when you get their, you have to fight a crowd of slow walkers, daydreamers, & full-time air travelers. On top of that, the port wants to radiate you & stick you on a plane full people with the plague, snoring gaspers (tear put on gaspers) looking for the next death stroke & crying infants that sound like air sirens, Fran Drescher, Michael Jackson rolled into one. On top of that, they can't feed you anymore, charge you for water, for bags, for breathing while you have to sit in a fart soaked 3X3 box (did I mention that's first class).
