Congress strikes down body scanners

Hmmm:

via RT: As outrage continues over body imagining scanners used by the TSA, a new legislation would cut off funding of the technology that has raised eyebrows across America since they began being installed throughout US airports in 2010.

TSA Agent Slips Through Body Scanner With A Gun

Um, yeah:

An undercover TSA agent was able to get through security at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with a handgun during testing of the enhanced-imaging body scanners, according to a high-ranking, inside source at the Transportation Security Administration.

From WBTV:

Cathy Bossi lives in south Charlotte and has been a flight attendant for the past 32 years, working the past 28 for U.S. Airways.

National TSA Opt Out Day is Nov 24th

Every day I read a new story about the TSA violating a person's rights and privacy in the name of "security". I will NEVER submit to a body scan (out of principle, if nothing else), and have been subjected to the intimate public groping numerous times. It's embarrassing and cringe-inducing, exactly as intended by the TSA.
