Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn"
An anonymous reader writes "Not content to simply follow the 'anything to protect American lives' mantra, freshman Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has introduced a bill to prohibit mandatory full body scans at airports. Chaffetz states, 'The images offer a disturbingly accurate view of a person's body underneath clothing ... Americans should not be required to expose their bodies in this manner in order to fly.' He goes on to note that the ACLU has expressed support for the bill. Maybe we don't need tin-foil sports coats to go with our tin-foil hats. For reference, the Daily Herald has a story featuring images from the millimeter wavelength imager, and we've talked about the scanners before."
He doesn't want anyone to see his magical underoos or else he won't be able to baptize the dead anymore.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
fuck
everyone has one, everyone's seen them, your not a special and unique snowflake. and clothes were invented not because eve ate the apple, but because its gets cold from time to time when the sun goes down.

I don't know your point of view. Maybe you believe that any activity of government or of the police is automatically wrong. In which case, not having a government or a police at all would be superior to having a government or police that didn't do anything. If you think there are roles or activities for which government and/or police are necessary, then as long as it doesn't break whatever bounds or shackles you think should be on these parties, why shouldn't these organizations pursue their roles in as efficient and low cost a manner as is allowed by the restrictions? I'm just saying that it seems there's a better use for your tax dollars than making sure your government doesn't work.
