TSA Accepting Public Comments On Whole Body Airport Screening

Posted by timothy on Saturday April 20, 2013 @03:11PM from the would-they-lie-to-you? dept.

New submitter trims writes "The TSA is now in the public comment stage of its project to roll out Advanced Imaging Technology (i.e. full-body X-ray) scanners. The TSA wants your feedback as to whether or not this project should be continued or cancelled. Now is your chance to tell the TSA that this is a huge porkbarrel project and nothing more than Security Theater. You can comment at http:///www.regulations.gov and reference the docket ID TSA-2013-0004." Note: the backscatter X-ray machines are being phased out, in favor of millimeter-wave systems; the linked documents give the government's side of the story when it comes to efficacy, safety, privacy, and worth. The comment period runs until June 24.

Yes. Panama was under United States control at the time of his birth, and he is a born United States citizen. Both his father and grandfather were admirals in the United States Navy, and he rose to the rank of Captain in a military career that included over five years as a prisoner of war. He was tortured repeatedly by the NVA during that time. Where exactly the fuck are you from, and what the fuck have you done with your life?
