TSA to Implement Body Scanners that Instantly Know Everything About your Body
Activist Post
by Lisa Garber If you thought the x-ray scanners at the airport were bad, wait until you find out that TSA employees will soon know what you had for breakfast and how pumped you are to sit on a plane for twelve hours. Unfortunately, you won’t know what they know, because Homeland Security’s new toy is capable of detecting every molecule on your person from over 164 feet (50 meters) away—without your permission. CIA-Backed Company Develops New Scanners
The scanner was developed by Genia Photonics before being subcontracted by In-Q-Tel, a company founded in 1999 “by a group of private citizens at the request of the Director of the CIA and the support of the U.S. Congress.” Although the technology is not new, In-Q-Tel made it exponentially faster and more convenient to use—which has its own implications. Blatant Violation of Privacy Although the TSA says this technology would be used to detect explosive material, the scanners are capable of detecting countless types of molecules. Which ones will be tagged for further surveillance? The cocaine on a dollar bill you received in change after buying coffee? The used joint you unwittingly stepped on at the bus stop? (Let’s not forget Keith Brown, a father of three who had a sugar-grain-sized speck of cannabis under his shoe and was sentenced to four years in a Dubai prison.) Because of the device’s portability and ease of use, it may even begin to show up at athletic events, movie theaters, traffic lights, and bus and train stations. While this may, for whatever reason, seem like a welcome sense of security to some, it’s a blatant breach of the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. This manner of surveillance too closely resembles that of the dystopian narratives of Phillip K. Dick, and will likely do little more than result in false positives, delayed human and automobile traffic in already busy areas, and cluttered minds. You choose—should this manner of privacy invasion be the norm? It will be unless we make noise about it today, while we still can.

v.8
People don’t have to fly. I’d like to see all the airlines go busted for condoning all this crap. Then the free market will rise up with privately owned airlines, not gov owned, like general motors and most airlines. Most large corp. have their own jets and people flying on them don’t put up with this. If people don’t like it, man up and quit flying and quit giving them your money. If a restaurant is lousy (food, service) you don’t go back right??
Most I know who used to travel a lot have quit flying. It has become an ordeal so it takes the pleasure out of the trip. Who wants or needs extra radiation.
I used to do air travel. Trip to London last year finished me off. No more air travel. My family attended a wedding in September several states away.
They flew I stayed home. I’m never paying to be fondled again!!
we need a constitution that specifically spells out the right to privacy, but even if it did, don’t hold your breath waiting for the utterly servile, communist slaves of the U.S. military to keep their word and defend it from it’s domestic enemies. The only thing these guys are going to fix is more chains around your neck so they can redistribute your wealth.
If I can’t get there by automobile I don’t go!
