EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use

nacturation writes "The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a petition for review and motion for an emergency stay, urging the District of Columbia Court of Appeals to suspend the Transportation Security Administration's full body scanner program. EPIC said that the program is 'unlawful, invasive, and ineffective' (PDF). EPIC argued that the federal agency has violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the Privacy Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Fourth Amendment. EPIC cited the invasive nature of the devices, the TSA's disregard of public opinion, and the impact on religious freedom."

    You are exercising your freedom when you choose to fly. You agree to the restrictions up front. I don't see a problem here. Don't like the restrictions, drive. That is my choice.

    Once we put them on street corners, then we can talk.
