What strawman???? You say these scans are unConstitutional. You call up the 4th Amendment. So...here it is:
Now! I repeat myself (because you are ignoring the truth of my post): Tell me WHERE in the 4th Amendment it says body scans can't be used...with the full consent of the participants. Oh, and before you use THIS argument, cite where in the Constitution it says that everyone has an unfettered right to fly. I'll wait.
I guess an MRI is unConstitutional. Huh?
How in the HELL will the 4th amendment, ratified, 200 years before these machines were invented, going to address SPECIFICALLY THAT? C'mon Maggie, you're smarter than this. That has to be one of the dumbest arguments I've seen on this site in a long time. An MRI is a medically necessary thing decided on between you and a medical doctor. A full body scan is not, and is mandated by a perceived level of risk that you pose without any due process or proof that you are a threat to that flight. After you spent hundreds on a plane ticket, if you want to exercise the right that ticket gives you, (and yes, once you buy a ticket you have a right to fly, or a full refund granted, so if you refuse the nudie booth you are entitled to your money back. You think that's going to happen? I think not!) you are subjected to this full body nudie booth.
If you don't see the difference then you are not worthy of debate.
How dare the gov't not mention full body scanners 200 years ago! :roll: :doh
