I refused the body scanner in LAX, waited 15 minutes for someone to legally sexually assault me, and then I got put on a watch list. Oh and the other people, walking through the scanner looked at me like I was some sort of criminal. Ignorance is bliss isn't it?
I think the whole thing is discusting. I can't believe people would allow themselves to be so degraded. I stopped flying once they started all of this. Don't people have any self respect. Why would anyone allow themselves or their children to go through radiation or to be touched by some stranger? Gross.
The only response is not to fly airplanes. People do not consider it an option, but it is the only option that people have if they wish to preserve their modesty, their dignity as human beings.
I don't get it: I've been flying to Europe (Spain) every single year for the past 34 years and there was nothing wrong with the security procedures implemented before. Why the hell are they coming out with this bullshit? Are they purposely trying to aggravate people or what???
Natural rights, also called inalienable rights, common law. can we be sovereign?has anyone had or seen a good example of a U.S. citizen do a order of none consent to be governed & became a freeman on the land as native Americans can be. as such being born in the USA you are a native to America I.E. you are a sovereign as soon as you are born as stated in the constitution? more people need to look in to there rights. it is the privilege of the government to govern us not there right. we choose.
I went through one, leaving Orlando. They found something suspicious on my back. Since I was carrying a backpack for over an hour, it was very sweaty and probably this moisture was the problem. One guy touched my back and let me go. The interesting thing is that they let me see the image on their monitors, and it was indeed a generic image of a "stick figure" or something of the sort, no photos or anything resembling my body.
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." ~Benjamin Franklin I don't need the government to take my tax dollars and using it to virtually stripe search me to a complete stranger nor have them give me the new and improved "pat down" should I choose not to poison myself with radiation. I'd like my money, privacy, and country back thanks.
This made me think what’s the difference being X-ray for broken bones? Your body is still being scanned whether or not religion is a factor? Idk people are dumb yes let’s boycott machinery that is supposed to help us protect our citizens and yourself from suicide terrorists. What about students who are on school grounds(grade school specifically). The moment we are involved with school or waiting for school bus or getting off, our human rights doesn’t apply. They have the right to search your locker and car without your knowledge with suspicion that you’re doing something. It’s in the student handbook. Just saying.. we want to talk about violation of rights how about literally just taking our rights away as students when we go to grade school.
I broke my arm and dislocated my elbow a couple months ago and now i have a metal plate and 9 screws holding it all together. I'm looking forward to going through an airport metal detector and setting it off.
It is not like weapons and guns can't be found or made inside every country.They don't need to bring them thou the airports.Weapons can be found in every country it is not like the planes can't have air marshals on them.
couldn't we just use a metal detector? i mean if any weapon is used it's most likely going to have metal on it. unless you were to make a knife out of wood or something but you get the idea
they just work so hard to make our lives harder and more complicated, 10 years ago we used to pass the airport security in matter of minutes, 10 min max, this year it took me 45 minutes to get on that plane and almost missed it, and now with this new scanner it will be over 2 hours.....
So if the scanner detects something suspicious and somebody gets arrested, their is no evidence because the images can't be stored? They are either that stupid, or they think we are. Just don't fly. Don't enter airports until the government is kicked out and air carriers (who have an actual stake in safety) perform whatever test they deem appropriate.
How could CBSs Travel Editor possibly comment on the technology behind full-body scanners, specifically the length of time they take? Example, he cites the machines as taking 3-4 minutes (2:22)...what?? What machine takes 3-4 minutes? I fly only a couple times a month, but the full body scanners I use only take about 5 seconds, and about 5 seconds additionally for clearance. I say embrace our technology overlords, for we do not know what we want until we have it.
Get real CBS, better security, better peace of mind travelling. If you fly a lot it's all part of the drill and nothing to freak out over. The issue if any (and this information should be in the public domain) is, are these microwave scanners really safe (especially if one travels a lot)? There are flunky signs at some airports sort of stating this but hardly believable.
I would not feel the need to state the self-evident if I did not see the problem, but that scanner is a videofloroscopy, which is a moving x-ray, and is like having 1,000 x-rays everytime you go through it, so in time the people will not be healthy enough to visit their families anyway.
I don't know why people care so much their phones, tablets, etc watch them everyday I'd be more concerned about that anyways it's for everyone's safety why don't people understand that?
@Sood81 I would not feel the necessity of stating the self-evident, if I did not see the problem, but it is in fact the only viable solution. That scanner is a videofloroscopy, which is a moving x-ray and is the same as having 1,000 x-rays, so the people in time will not be healthy enough to visit their families anyway.
I am a man, and if I wear a bra with padding while going through, and they bring up a man to frisk me yet I claim I’m a woman today and demand that a woman frisk me, and then act like I’m getting my jollies while she does, what then?
Just wear a Lycra bodysuit! Alternatively, when they're patting you down start breathing heavier while you tell the person that that is the closest you've had to sex in the last 10 years. I am the type of person that hates owing people anything and by that I include that if people are rude to me I'm rude back, if people take liberties or fck with me I give them the same in return. Watch their faces as you go through the scanner saying to them, did you see the size of it.
If somebody you loved died in a terrorist attack that could have been prevented by a "body search", would you still oppose this? I'm not saying the "government" doesn't politically capitalize on fear, I'm saying that the world can be a very dangerous place, and we are, relatively speaking, very safe in the U.S. If you can develop a system that allows for safe flights and 0 invasion - bring it up to the government, they would be thrilled, so this idiotic media shit storm goes away.
@Sood81 If the planes stopped flying they would have the same problem. I would not feel the need to remind them of the alternative if I did not see these problems, but that scanner is a videofloroscopy, which is a moving x-rays and is like having 1,000 x-rays, so in time they will not be healthy enough to visit their families anyway..
I don't have a problem if somebody can see my naked body. What about the radiation that strips me off my clothes? Is it really safe? Mammography was safe too and now more countries stop using it or don't recommend any more because of more harm than benefits. Think twice before going through the scanner.
@waitew Ummm, I'm talking about the history of this current conflict. If you think it just so happened in the past ten years, you're sorely mistaken which is the typical view of most Americans who have no clue as to the real magnitude of the Muslim/Christian conflict. This battle is but one of the many which has plagued the Muslim/Christian world for thousands of years. Here's an idea...why don't you get caught up on world history, then claim to understand the WHOLE picture.
The truth is that because of this drastic measure, they have kept a lot of dangerous items off of airplanes. People have a choice here, i would rather get screened than molested by the agents. Its either screening or getting your junk handled. I agree with most of you saying that there maybe a deacrease in airtravel and taking the train or car.
Think of all those screaming horrified victims of 911 then you'll realize why this should be mandatory. No group of passengers want to find themselves in that situation just because some odd person fells their privacy being compromised.
at 11.35 she says some people need to forgo these machines and opt for a pat down.so who are these people who are allowed to forgo security and opt for a pat down? MUSLIMS THATS WHO the people who need scanning the most. dressed like a black mailbox. meanwhile watch the tsa pat down kids taken from there mothers. and pull old men and women from wheelchairs. dare to speak up? if you do you will be dragged aside and detained until you miss your flight in an act of utter spite,
It's not that big of a deal. It's a human body. Save your battles for something that means more. Just because I don't give a shit if someone "sees me naked" for the safety of myself and others doesn't make me a "sheep." Also, now that I see this video, it does NOT take 3-4 minutes to get cleared. Not even close. Besides, I would LOVE for them to store, print and distribute my body scanner image, make it public and embarrass me. Do you know how much money I'll get in the court case!?
I refused the body scanner in LAX, waited 15 minutes for someone to legally sexually assault me, and then I got put on a watch list. Oh and the other people, walking through the scanner looked at me like I was some sort of criminal. Ignorance is bliss isn't it?
How do you know you got put on a list??? Doesn't make sense to me
armanarmadillo it really is😐
What a prat
That scan goes too far 😡
They're too invasive as far as privacy goes. Period.
Then you must refuse boarding the plane.
You are a dangerous person. How dare you refuse to investigate and put millions of people at risk?
but if I showed up at the airport naked, I would be the screwball, and have to wrestle cops.
WOW they're outlining their breasts????? WTF .. this is a STRIPPING of our rights, it's REDICULOUS
I went through the scanner. I recommend the scanner, it's hell of a lot quicker than 3-4min.
I think the whole thing is discusting. I can't believe people would allow themselves to be so degraded. I stopped flying once they started all of this. Don't people have any self respect. Why would anyone allow themselves or their children to go through radiation or to be touched by some stranger? Gross.

the problem is there`s not limit. Welcome to the new era = Security over human rights... ironic
Backscatter x ray is more dangerous than millimeter wave scanner
wait so you can refuse the full body scan? I bet that is not healthy for you at all.
Let's go on holiday I need a feel up.
Stress causes less enjoyment of life and shortens life.
Boycot boycOT BOYCOT BOYCOT BOYCOT THIS MADNESS. WE ARE LOOSING OUR CONSITUTIONAL RIGHTS EVERY DAY WE ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE.
You can't bypass busses and trains either. Boycotts don't help. Action and legislation and lawsuits do.
Natural rights, also called inalienable rights, common law.
can we be sovereign?has anyone had or seen a good example of a U.S. citizen do a order of none consent to be governed & became a freeman on the land as native Americans can be. as such being born in the USA you are a native to America I.E. you are a sovereign as soon as you are born as stated in the constitution?
more people need to look in to there rights.
it is the privilege of the government to govern us not there right. we choose.

They replaced the old ones with ones that only show generic images
They punish the traveler, but don't wipe out terrorism, and it needs wiped out

WTF - You guys don't have problem wearing bikini's but someone seeing X-ray image makes you angry.
very good point
But you chose to wear a bikini you dont choose to be scanned. Furthermore some of us cover our bodies for religious reasons.
This made me think what’s the difference being X-ray for broken bones? Your body is still being scanned whether or not religion is a factor?

@@naviifra2374 some people also blow up planes for ‘religious reasons’. So grow up and face reality.
@@anandkothari9616 some people justify slavery and the caste system for religious reasons’ im not sure what your point is
if the can save the pictures with these scanners why are they all over the internet?
I broke my arm and dislocated my elbow a couple months ago and now i have a metal plate and 9 screws holding it all together. I'm looking forward to going through an airport metal detector and setting it off.
I had put in 'naked flights by choice' as seen on Jay Leno as a humorous sketch
Stay home, don’t fly.
They should pay me to go through those scanners. It's like posing for Playboy.
I bet the people working those scanners take bets on anatomy, underwear, and pubic hair XD
Here's why i dont think this violates anyone's rights: flying is not a right.
can they tell if you have a medical problem.
Yes they do,,I have one and I have a medical card that I show them!
It is not like weapons and guns can't be found or made inside every country.They don't need to bring them thou the airports.Weapons can be found in every country
it is not like the planes can't have air marshals on them.
personally I think I'd rather go for the scanner it seems less invasive than someone the airport frisking me
couldn't we just use a metal detector? i mean if any weapon is used it's most likely going to have metal on it. unless you were to make a knife out of wood or something but you get the idea
you call this a free country ? go into any airport.
ROFL. There is nothing to see on these scans. The reporter is wrong, it is very quick gong through the scanner. Not true 3 or 4 minutes.
they just work so hard to make our lives harder and more complicated, 10 years ago we used to pass the airport security in matter of minutes, 10 min max, this year it took me 45 minutes to get on that plane and almost missed it, and now with this new scanner it will be over 2 hours.....

I do think it is about time that they introduce flight , for people who wants to fly nude!
Wasn't at the Airport twelve years ago, but can make it through.
if everyone farted while being groped , things will change!
Get real CBS, better security, better peace of mind travelling. If you fly a lot it's all part of the drill and nothing to freak out over.

Ah way back in the old days when CBS did actual news!
Now days the scanner takes like 10 seconds
dude, i have no problem with the TSA
I don't know why people care so much their phones, tablets, etc watch them everyday I'd be more concerned about that anyways it's for everyone's safety why don't people understand that?
people don’t want to be touch
Jolly good massage
@vada2000 This sounds fairly consistent to me: if you can save them, you can post them, obviously. Did you mean to ask "If you CAN'T..."?
@Sood81 I would not feel the necessity of stating the self-evident, if I did not see the problem, but it is in fact the only viable solution.

it is 2019 - update? nothing has changed!
patience my ass(pun intended)

And the illegal immigrants just walk across the border
U GET ALOT OF RADS........TSA IS NOTHING MORE THAN SECURITY THEATRICS.........ALSO THOSE PHOTOS OF YOU CAN BE PHOTO SHOPPED
what if they are wearing a wired thing on them

On google they have over 2,950,000 images!!! All Lies!
@Sood81 If the planes stopped flying they would have the same problem.

Just go through scanner and stop the whining!!!
@bdriz16 You do know that this guy was against the scanners
I love how there's absolutely NO MENTION OF THE HEALTH CONCERNS WHATSOEVER!
Everything changed because of 9/11
Yeah it misses you fight they wont you to miss your fight (TSA Does)

stfu sheep
Afrocanuk go freefall yourself you sheeplette
I’m certain you were not clearly thinking everything through when you made this comment.
nine eleven has nothing to do with all this pat down why dont they use a scanner.
9/11 was an inside job by our on
government. Not by terrorists.
at 11.35 she says some people need to forgo these machines and opt for a pat down.so who are these people who are allowed to forgo security and opt for a pat down?

they can't look at muslims at all .that would be racial profiling. better to strip the ten year olds naked. that will teach those parents.
@hatchbx oh yeah sorry i was drunk
Dammit Islam! Hurry the fuck up and catch up with the world wontcha? 500 yrs behind? damn!!!!
OK stop security screening altogether how many are you would fly then???
