Could be NSFW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlDVLlAEUU (Contains TSA body scan) Neither does the second United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act Michael Chertoff, the current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Administrator of the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and former Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation John Pistole, or President Barack Obama. If you want to learn more on the government scam and the slick salesman, Michael Chertoff, just google him. He stands to profit financially from the sale of these scanners. He is a security consultant for the companies that manufacture the scanners. No inside deal there. A former DHS secretary, selling these scanners to our current DHS secretary. All they while the scanners cost $150,000 and do not detect explosives, yet a $8,500 bomb stiffing dog does? The FBI uses these dogs at their main office, and so do soldiers in Iraq and A'stan where bombs go off everyday, but we don't use them here? We'd rather grope women and children and stick our hands down their pants looking for bombs or put them through the porno scanners? Didn't Pistole just say that these scanners are a direct result of the underwear bomber? But didn't the Government Accountability Office say that they are not sure these scanners would have been able to see the "underwear bombers" explosives? http://www.banderasnews.com/1011/edat-bodyscanners.htm http://www.examiner.com/charleston-demo ... nder=print I heard this on national news, about the GAO, and it turns out to be true. I'm now fully convinced that these scanners have nothing to do with making us any more safe. It has to do with money from this scam, and of course getting us to throw away our entire 4th amendment rights for the illusion of temporary safety. All involved, Michael Chertoff, Janet Napolitano, John Pistole, and Barack Obama disgust me. I can't even watch them when I see them spouting their junk on the TV everyday. After all, Janet is Obama's girl, and she works for him, so obviously he is agreeing with all of this or it would end tomorrow.
Thank you, just trying to do my part to spread what a scam the entire thing is. The FBI doesn't use these scanners at their main office, they use the bomb sniffing dogs to find explosives. So do soldiers in areas where bombs go off everyday. They don't use these scanners.
Spent a lot of time staring at the photo? To be honest, does it matter? The porno scanners do the exact same thing. If that's the only problem with the video then we are all good. Still doesn't change the information in the video.
No, just saw a thread in another forum where they took the same photo's and colorized them to make it look real. In reality they were only reversing what was done in photoshop. There are real examples here. http://blog.tsa.gov/2010/01/whats-wrong-with-this-picture.html
Whether the photo is faked or not doesn't change the fact that the scanners are pretty much worthless when compared to a trained dog.
When 911 happen everyone blamed the USA Gov not protecting us . Now that they are trying to make sure that will not happen again everyone complains . Look at the number people that died that day , what would you think they (dead)and (family) would think about this . I bet they wished this was up and running then . I am not complaining I am Happy and would let them do what ever they needed to , to make sure my country is safe. yes that includes a cavity search
That's not the issue. The issue is that we could be safer using better security that is less intrusive, and that the TSA is above reproach. I would never trade the illusion of safety today for loss of my rights tomorrow. Az
Wow, I read that post, and all I can say is that you are being the good little sheep your government wants you to be.
Sounds to me neither of you lost anyone due to the 911 so you can't speak from the heart how it touched family members .I am glad they are doing everything they can to protect us from another 911 attack or what ever date they choose .
If they were doing everything they can, they would destroy all planes. Right now, they are barely doing anything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_emotion Someone should add this to wikipedia as a perfect example. As Ben Franklin said, you deserve neither liberty nor safety. You would give up all your rights just for the illusion of safety. Edit: To add to this, if you did lose someone in the terrorist attacks I'm very sorry about that, blame the terrorist and America's foreign policy that lead to this, but don't ask any of us to give up our 4th amendment rights. You are free to give up every right that you have, just don't ask or expect me to be ok with one Constitutionally protected right infringed or violated. I'm very upset with my government for violating everyone's 4th amendment rights, and I always will be.
As a matter of fact, I did lose someone very important to me. And I will scream from the rooftops that the TSA is doing nothing to protect us from anything. They will never do anything to protect us. Every regulation they place on Americans, erases another of our rights. Keep singing your song Baaaaaaah!!!! This is what the TSA lines will look like before long. Glad to see you are in line already.
EJR, You post a lot here - some things I agree with, others not so much. The quote above, however, I find to be one of the most succinct, straight-forward summaries of the "safety" vs. "freedom" battle that I have seen or heard. Very well phrased.
