I didn't mind at all to go through the full body scan. I even joked to the TSA agent that he was probably picking up my sausage on the screen lol. I can see where your going with what other private areas will they be trying to look into next, the verichip etc. but I'm gonna stay on the the side of light-hearted and think that these awful things won't happen and things like a full body scan will. I'll also say that the body scan has an 88% approval rate among americans, funny how the 12% always makes such a fuss, the majority has spoken end of story.

I am working on leaving enough out for others to comment on but I'm not used to that.
To me that is being less than I am by working at a slower pace which is odd as Hell.
I see an objective and I am off to conquer it without any help from anyone.
I'm just used to working solo, ATS, after 5 years, is still new to me.
31 years of being a conspiracy theorist, since I was age 6, now 37, will do that to you.
I have nothing against Government, in general, it is however when they overstep their bounds.
This is when I have a problem.
When our rights are violated.
While I can certainly see where you have a valid point about my being too hard on people I just do not give a damn any more, because I am tired of people slacking off, and letting this crap happen, and my patience runs thin with others sitting on the sidelines not doing a damn thing to actually keep our rights safeguarded from oppressive corporate agendas which play at security and do nothing about it in reality, other than potentially give cancer and grope people.
It is in fact all inter-related and tied together because that is how the system works.
Do you honestly think anyone will actually try to do something legally and non-violent?
Not even 1% of ATS is willing to do that.
I would check into changing laws in Australia outside of the lawyers.
Lawyer's lie, no matter the culture, they are paid to lie.
Lawyer's are also looking to keep people in the dark so they can make money.
Never forget that.
Here in America it does not take being a politician to make a law.
It takes an incident, like 9/11, or enough petitions signed, or even rallies, or Presidential order.
Getting off the grid is not the answer unfortunately.
So many ATS members believe getting their Bug Out Bag is the answer.
That is the cowardly route to avoid personal responsibility to changing the laws.
Just because people do not believe they cannot change these laws does not make it true.
If we as a community were to work together?
We can force these issues to change.
It takes personal responsibility, first, it takes research, second, it takes working together, third.
And it will not happen overnight either.
Once released from prison, Hitler decided to seize power constitutionally rather than by force of arms. Using demagogic oratory, Hitler spoke to scores of mass audiences, calling for the German people to resist the yoke of Jews and Communists, and to create a new empire which would rule the world for 1,000 years.
The Creation of the Nazi Dictatorship, 1933-1939 Phase One, 1933-1934 Nazi domestic policy can be broken into three phases beginning with 1933-34. During these years, Hitler consolidated his authority through the destruction of all other political parties, "coordination" of all aspects of German life, and the liquidation of dissent among Nazis and conservatives. After taking office as chancellor, Hitler quickly out maneuvered Papen and the conservative nationalists.
"Oh, we did not know, now we know."
"It was a trainees mistake who was improperly trained."
"It was for the freedom of the nation."

I know how the `controllers` are using `Problem-Reaction-Solution` to get people to accept things they otherwise wouldn`t, but I don`t understand how the frenzy over the TSA scanners connects to pushing the RFID chip on us.
I thought the RFID chip could only read identification & other personal information about a person, & that it can be remotely controlled, & thus turned off, if one is not `going with the program`, so to speak.
How is it able to scan someone`s body for airport security...am I missing something here?

I bet they are not used to people knowing the newer passports have R.F.I.D. chips.
That you knew told them you might have been someone important too.
I have to chuckle because perhaps my intellegence and knowledge might convey that... but I'm pretty sure my black and red streaked mohawk would blow that out of the water. Was probably something more along the lines of "Who IS this anarchist?"
ETA: I really do wonder when the notion of those shock delivering bracelets is going to crop up again. We heard about it breifly what was it? Two years ago? Then all talk of them seemed to dissapear. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a next step.edit on 21-11-2010 by ProvehitoInAltum because: (no reason given)

The airline needs to do business, they need to make a profit, they need to provide safe travel.

Looks like we've got at a minimum, 6 basic needs that should be met.
Lets see if we, (the airlines and the customers) can do, through a cooperative effort, our combined best at providing these 6 basic needs.
Originally posted by HappilyEverAfter
1-Security clearances and background checks on all employees.
2-Access restrictions to areas by employee groupings.
3-Baggage inspection, thorough xray and sniffer inspections of all baggage, all baggage checked, no carryons.
4-Highly Qualified mechanics and techs, recertification yearly, continual training.
5-Elevated level of parts upgrades and replacements.
6-Locked cockpits, absolutely no access by cabin staff available, no exit by flight crew by a minimum of 10 minutes before leaving boarding area.
7-Trained and Armed flight crew.
8-Air Marshall (or private security) on each flight.
9-Passenger passes through metal detector and sniffer.
10-Passengers seat belts to be secured before leaving boarding area, seat belts are to be thoroughly and individually inspected before leaving boarding area, passenger seat belts are to remain locked through entire flight, passenger seat belts are only able to be released by staff at seat belt unlocking station, passenger seat belts are individually controlled.

Has our need for mutual safety been met?
Originally posted by HappilyEverAfter
With the 'built in' issues there will of course always be a chance of electrical or mechanical failure, but with elevated maintainence schedules and parts upgrades and replacements that occurance can be narrowed.
With 'built on' safety issues, we've eliminated items to access in the cabin, all bags are checked, we've employed state of the art metal detectors and explosive sniffing devices, we've secured our passengers comfortably for the entire flight with individually electronic controlled seat belts, (simply push the call button and an attendant will visit you, if you need access to the restroom, one passenger at a time can roam freely, OR one is directed forward and one aft)
We also have an armed air marshall or security person on board, and finally we have a secure cockpit with no access allowed from tarmac to tarmac.

No one has been touched, no one has been discriminated against, no one has been disrespected,
no one has been xrayed, no one has been treated as anything other than a passenger, a customer.

If we need extremes, and in some cases we do, and we will never know in which case that is,
if we need extremes, are these posted here sufficient?
Originally posted by HappilyEverAfter
Would these be effective, tolerable, and acceptable by the standards that both parties needs demand.
I personally believe yes.

Civilized society is not yet autonomous. It cannot function without leadership.
Originally posted by rusethorcain
This in itself should remind us we are often oblivious to integrity and honor in leadership and as a result we end up being hearded and fleeced instead of lead toward the true peace and prosperity we deserve.
Instead we are led as hapless sheep and helpless "victims" of men like Jack.
Originally posted by rusethorcain
Even knowing this we seldom strive for exceptional leadership or the peace and prosperity promised under more reasonable, peaceable men, like Ralph.
Originally posted by rusethorcain
We cannot rise above the thrill of the chase, and instead of kill the prey, understand it is barbaric and let it go. We get caught up in the mob mentality and before we know what happened we are licking our chops, the deed is done. Decent men like Ralph, buried underfoot..and footnotes.

This should be all the evidence/proof we need of a diabolical master plan.
It creates order (sells us crap we don't need) through the chaos (we are afraid for our lives)
Nobody is going to support a standing Army and all that entails if we don't perceive a threat.
The R.F.I.D. chip cannot scan your body.
You are missing something.
The entire process of T.S.A. is to put us under pressure, about the scanners and pat-downs, and accept the bio-chip, R.F.I.D. chip, which will become an acceptable form of "I.D.'ing" people, instead of the metal detectors, scanners, and pat-downs.
