"Non-intrusive scanning methods"???? it IS intrusive. If it wasn't intrusive then I guess you should be willing to just walk through naked for them.
I REFUSE to bow down to the government that tries to fool us into believing that they are "protecting" us and that this all somehow makes me feel safer.
I want to see EVERY government politician go through these interrogations with their children and wives, husbands, etc. and see what they think. Oooops I forgot,....they are exempt from that.........they fly around on million dollar jets for just one or two of them.
I have been groped on EVERY trip I've made in the last few months as well, which has been about 6 flights and YES, I REFUSE to get in their radiation naked scanners EVERY time. BUT I have been with a group every time I've flown and seem to get picked every time for the scanner which I refuse and then they get nasty and rude and tell me "Do you know what you've done by refusing the scanner?" YEah........do your groping job!!! I have been raped before and this is VERY uncomfortable for me, but so is the scanner, where the perverts are looking at your pics as you walk through. The TSA has NEVER stopped a terrorist yet and this is against my constitutional rights. But hey, the government doesn't use the constitution anymore.
They could stop it all if everyone could carry on a loaded gun. Then any would-be terrorist would be shot about 100 times by all the people on the plane with guns to protect themselves!! HA!
I have been flying quite a bit lately and I am as caucasian as it gets and have been GROPED EVERY SINGLE TIME I've flown. So, it is not totally a race thing. I HATE it, I believe it is against our constitutional rights, but we have no say. The TSA has NEVER stopped a highjacking/bombing/911 type even ever and this makes me feel no safer than prior to this invasive screening. Just some perp watching everyone.
Even the current customer that is NOT a corporate account gets grandfathered in on current unlimited data plans, as I am one of those and it won't change on my account.
Sometimes I think 95% of the people in this world have nothing better to do than find something to complain about with large service providers. I don't care what company you do business with, they all have their faults and will all piss off someone. It is inevitable...........Verizon, Sprint, At&T, T-Mobile, power companies, cable companies, etc. etc. Why doesn't anyone get pissed off about the crap that WalMart does..............nope - they can do ANYTHING, including buying million dollar life insurance policies on their employees and hope they die so they can collect. Why no uproar there????!!! HECK NO........."they are cheaper" well look at the bullying they do to their product providers to see what they do to bring you "cheap" prices. You think you're getting the same exact product all the time?? think again.
Wake up people!!
Maybe parents should just teach their children about internet safety and about NEVER clicking on a link in an email sent from someone they don't know and NEVER giving out personal information in an email, or online unless they go directly to the site themselves by TYPING in the URL. Phishing is easily done and is where most of these people get the private info they want. My daughter also does the Pet Shop thing, but we have not gotten any advertisements from that at this point. We need more education, not politicians directing our lives with laws that aren't enforced. Too much political intervention is what causes all the crap like this!!
I have an iPod with about 800 songs on it and ALL of them came off of LEGALLY PURCHASED CD'S by me (of which usually only one or two songs is WORTH listening to) and the rest were purchased on iTunes. I think if I purchase the music, whether it be on cd or on a legal internet site, that I should be able to put that song on any media I want for myself. I think the RI is completely full of (*&^ for saying that this music is stolen. Downloaded illegal music (that I've heard on others' players') is usually not worth buying. Seems anyone that can speak tries to "sing" and gets paid the big bucks..........witnessed on TV almost daily.

Re: Permission granted
That doesn't make it ok to violate our constitutional rights on airlines that they don't own.

Bullshit, TSA is bullshit
