TRENTON— Senator Michael J. Doherty (R-Hunterdon, Warren) and Senator James Beach (D-Camden) today announced they will present resolutions to the Senate and Assembly calling on the U.S. Congress to end TSA screening procedures requiring full body scans and pat downs at U.S. airports Their action comes in response to widespread concerns over privacy and radiation, as well as reports of inappropriate conduct by TSA agents during the screening process.
"The pursuit of security should not force Americans to surrender their civil liberties or basic human dignity at a TSA checkpoint," said Doherty. "Subjecting law-abiding American citizens to naked body scans and full body pat downs is intolerable, humiliating, vulnerable to abuse, and is fast becoming a disincentive to travel. Particularly concerning to us is the fact that physical searches result in children being touched in private areas of the body. Terrorists hate America because of the freedoms upon which this great nation was built. By implementing these screening measures, the TSA has already handed a victory to those who seek to destroy our freedoms."

I took the liberty of highlighting the one and only reason that they give a damn. Everything else is meaningless bullshit meant only for public consumption.
TSA boss: Our pat-downs turn up "artfully concealed objects" By Nate Anderson | Last updated about an hour ago
At a Senate oversight hearing today, Transportation Security Administration head John Pistole explained that TSA agents really do need to encounter testicular resistance when performing their newly enhanced airport pat-downs. Since switching to the new pat-downs in the last few weeks, "We have detected dozens and dozens of, let's say, 'artfully concealed objects'" that could pose a risk to flight, said Pistole.
Indeed, the government's own covert penetration testing of airports showed that it wasn't difficult to get contraband into airports under the old regime, thanks in large part to this "artful concealment." Those tests showed that the US was "not being thorough enough in our pat-downs," said Pistole. When combined with 2009's "underwear bomber" case, it became clear to TSA that something much more aggressive (though short of a cavity search) would be required.
Pistole faced surprisingly gentle questioning from senators of both parties, even though most admitted that their own phones were ringing off the hook on the issue. "We're getting hundreds of calls," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). The public is "significantly upset," said Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), adding that much of the outrage focused on children being searched. TSA head John Pistole
Pistole said he "understood" the concern (and he added that children under 12 weren't subject to the enhanced pat-down). When one senator asked if this "understanding" meant changes were coming, Pistole was direct. "Am I going to change the policies? No."
Indeed, TSA is moving ahead with its controversial AIT scanning program, which can see through clothing. 385 millimeter wave (radio) and backscatter (X-ray) scanners are deployed right now at US airports, but by the end of 2011, that number will jump to 1,000 machines.
But TSA is working with private companies on a software upgrade to the machines, one that will render the human body itself more like a stick figure than a realistic image, and one that could automatically highlight areas of concern.
The system, called "Automated Target Recognition," doesn't work yet; it still produces too many false positives. But Pistole hopes to have something operational within months, and said in his opening statement that "this capability would make screening more efficient and would eliminate most privacy concerns about the technology."
But for now, it's nude body scans and/or "enhanced" pat-downs (yes, the unlucky can actually get both, as one senator lamented). With the busiest travel season in the US approaching, what happens to those who encounter the new regime and object?
Your elected congresscritter(s) fully endorse this shit.
You don't really expect him to say anything else, do you? I don't. I expect it.
He is a pig, and pigs will do what they always do. And frankly I hope that they get even more tyrannical with their searches. It will be like throwing gas on a fire.
We are approaching the most heavily traveled time of year. When there is significant financial impact due 12 y/o kids getting their genitals groped, along with the adults, making people unwilling to pay for being abused, then changes will either occur, or there will be more bankruptcies. And not just airline bankruptcies but also those that depend on this travel.
It's all about the money.
So what he wants or doesn't want, doesn't mean jack shit, and I bet that he knows it.
His actions will have consequences and they won't be pretty. People are finally waking up. Too bad it took getting their balls groped for them to finally realize that they do have balls after all.
When it comes to women being groped, I'll let them speak for themselves.
He is a pig, and pigs will do what they always do. And frankly I hope that they get even more tyrannical with their searches. It will be like throwing gas on a fire.
There is no question about it ... he and others shall do their best to perform towards your wishes.

I want to say ... he is all for changing the policies, too. Children will be groped as well. Why? It is possible a terrorist would conceal contraband on a child.
And, the limitations that are already imposed must be removed. This new "feature" towards your own security is only going to become more invasive. So, it is going to change.

I'm counting on it.
The pigs are meeting more and more resistance. People are not acting as they have been programmed to act. They have finally found their balls/ovaries, atrophied as they may be. If people were acting like the zombies that they tried to program them as, I'd be worried.
Where? From I see, most Americans think it is for their own good and fully comply; if nothing else, they have a flight to catch and want to safely arrive at their planned destinations without interference.

Not from my perspective.

I dont think that this would be making the MSM otherwise. They'd bury it, but they can't. The politicians would do nothing too. But now they are worried about the lack of holiday travelers and the loss of $$$.
This story is just too big to ignore.
I see this escalating. Evidently you don't. That's OK. Time will tell who is right.
One possibility though is that the TSA fucks will pull back, letting the resisters think that they won. This could have been a trial balloon that took on a life of its own, thinking that people were already sufficiently cowed into just going along with whatever.
They can't. Otherwise the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars spent for the body scanners won't be justified.
I was referring to their new "enhanced" crotch groping techniques, not the machines. If they stop the groping, then the story might die and we go back to where we were before this latest controversy started, with the kiddie porn machines. maybe that is where they were heading the whole time.

The full body "pat down" to include the genital areas is only offered in response to passengers UNWILLING to be X-rayed by the full body scanners; it is the only other alternative offered. You see, that is freedom of choice in America. Life is GRAND!

I understand that. But they aren't getting away with it. It's generating rage. They are now worried about the only thing they ever think about: money, and the loss of said money due to this, all of this is on top of a fucked up economy. They only pay lip service to privacy etc.
I'm not saying that no one will fly because of it. But X% will refuse to fly and will drive instead, and Y% will stay at home and not spend any money. What those percentages will be is anyones guess. It doesn't take a large percentage to put the PTB in a world of hurt. Rage is a great motivator.
