And lastly, if this is not stopped right here right now it will spread to many other areas of our lives - malls, sporting events, perhaps even grocery stores.
Too late...
Our teams have been utilized to clear sports arenas, schools, office buildings as well as all areas of the airport environment. Once again the bomb dog's mobility and ability to identify the source of an explosive odor are critical elements in its operational use.

I hope not either. I would not fly home if my father was not ill. Kind of feel like my back is against the wall on this one. Not alot of choices.
Well so far this is not the norm at all airports... here in Vegas all is normal. My wife just flew to Florida and had no problems here at all... but she didn't have nice words to say about the return trip from Orlando

The simple, although criminal solution is radical direct action.
You tell them you're not standing for these things...they laugh and tell you to shut your mouth and get into the scanner..what is there left for you to do?
A group of activists could probably pretty much destroy one of these things in quick time yes?
Just a little clue..

So you advocate discrimination, and racial profiling!? That is just wrong.
So much for the idea that "all men are created equally".
Not racial profiling, criminal profiling, I'm sure I didn't imagine the so called War on Terror to be specifically aimed at Islamic terrorists, this is what the whole issue was about right? 19 muslim terrorists hi-jacking 4 aircraft and using them as weapons?
And as I've stated before it only seems to be Muslims who are exempt from this...How is that fair, when statistically they are far more likely to be attempting to blow up the aircraft? How does that fit in with "all men are created equally"

A VERY interesting point was made in another thread on the TSA
These scans and pat downs are ONLY being done internally... they are NOT scanning people coming INTO the country..
So an Islamabomber or similar malcontent could still get on a plane in Europe, Middle East or Asia and nothing would stop them...
So tell me again its not 'citizen control'
