So, be ready to have a $250 'resolution fine' from TSA in your mailbox in a couple months. Just for 'disturbing' the line. The guy inspecting was pretty polite, but apparently his supervisor or someone didn't like me
Did you actually pay the fine?

While I get the whole right to privacy argument and infringement of rights argument you do realize it's not a right to fly but a privilege right? Just playing devils advocate to the it's my right argument I always hear that just doesn't pertain. I am curious on thoughts if you look at it this way, since in all honesty this is he way it is.
And Rusty their job isn't to confront the attackers merely act as a deterrent. LEOs are lurking and on hand for TSA screeners when they need them.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Again you are voluntarily flying not being forced to that is the key to hole in your argument of rights.
I've cut my flying back to the bare minimum.
I hear the new whole body scanners do that for you!
+1. Not that I agree with the TSA regulations, but I do agree it is not a constitutional issue.
I always refuse the machine scan, TSA has been polite but punish me with a ten minute pat down, including the soles of my feet and looking in my billfold.Really hit and miss depending on the supervisory staff. If you opt out of the body scanners at some places it becomes an exercise in loudness and intimidation.
No, he is exactly right.Shinbone: I think your pilot buddy may have been jerking your leg a bit

Pilots are now refusing the scan due to the radiation hazard and the invasion of privacy.
By the way, TSA PROMISED the machines were not capable of storing scans. They lied, not only do they store scans, but TSA employees have been caught ogling pictures of good looking women, perhaps your daughter.
By the way deux. If you go through a "Rapidscan" machine, it has been sold to your airport by none other than Michael Chertoff, former head of TSA. (DHS)
That's like Janet Napolitano selling fences to Arizona.
