Just like the DEA can swoop in and bust people for marijuana.
Deal with it.
And I am dealing with it, by debating it, and protesting it in whatever means I can.
Or were you looking to say "bend over"?
So the DEA can do X, a completely different agent can do Y invasive thing and we should be OK with it?
I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that your logic is not there... at all. For one, the DEA's abilities have nothing to do with the TSA. Secondly, i the DEA does act in a manner that is unjust and gets away with it, that shouldn't mean that another agency should do whatever it want unchallenged. It means, if anything, we should put MORE scrutiny on these agencies to make sure they have the proper checks and balances.
1) The body scanners don't show naked bodies, they show a thermal scan. All you get is an outline
Maybe some of the other ones out there, used in other European countries, but the ones in use sure as heck show more than just an outline... or do you just go by the shrunken, distored images relased by the TSA/DHS for news agencies, instead of samples from the manufactuer's own page, and images leaked from the machines themselves?
3) The searches are not unreasonable, but they aren't done with enough... partiality. I mean they check little kids.
The problem is with the methods, not the searching in of itself.
I don't understand why people are so uptight about the body scanners though.
Even after reading the various complaints made about them, from the digital strip search aspect , to the radiation aspect, to the image recording/storage issue?
