Colorado lawyer, Gary Fielder, has filed for a Permanent Restraining Order in federal district court against Janet Napolitano, John Pistole, the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA. Attorney Fielder made headlines earlier this year when he refused to go through a naked body scanner installed at a Colorado courthouse. He has now filed a Complaint for Injunctive Relief to stop the naked body scanners and enhanced pat downs at our nation's airports.

Good for him, although the government will somehow find a way to get this thrown out of court.

Take off your clothes (or leave them on - your choice) & Show your Ass, folks, if you want to fly.

Pornography, in the form of pictures of Terminal body Scans, now available at all Airport gift shops.

Just go to Terminal 13, and ask for the porno Sales desk, before leaving the Airport.

They will be happy to Sell to you all the dirty that you want, and may your Airport experience be a happy and horny one.

I think that TSA will eventually have to change in the wake of public opinion and pressure.

This has been blown way out of proportion by the media. You do realize only up to 3 percent of the airline passengers are scanned right? :roll:

Why are you so arrogant? All passengers are scanned one way or another at airports, or haven't you ever flown in a plane before?

I agree.
Besides if we make it impossible for a terrorist to get on a plane, all they have to do is walk across the boarder. There's no scanners there and that doesn't seem to concern Napolitano.
They might not be able to bring a plane down but that's not the only way to kill a bunch of Americans.

I hope not. Historically when security gets lax we have an incident. We got really lax an stupid just before 911.

People need to grow a pair and handle it. It's better than blowing up at 30,000 feet.

Only 3 percent of passengers get scanned anyway. Big deal.

So are you as concerned about thousands of people crossing our borders without being groped or scanned first?
 
My hope is that more lawsuits come forward which will lead to the complete destruction and dissolution of the TSA but of course this is only wishful thinking.

Ah go take your blatant baiting and stuff it.

Why the **** should we bend over and throw away our rights, when doing so in the fashion these pat down methods and body scanner force us to, isn't even needed to keep us safe? To appease to the people whom blindly support them, and in the case of a lot of those blindly supporting these measures, people whom come off as being too stupid to even do a 2 second Google search to get basic facts about what is causing the controversy in the first place?

If one is so afraid of the absurdly minuscule chance of dying on board the statistically safest mode of transportation SO MUCH SO that he or she somehow believes the lack of these specific methods will make flying insanely dangerous, perhaps that person, and not the one who takes the small chance, whom shouldn't fly.

If one is so afraid of the absurdly minuscule chance of dying on board the statistically safest mode of transportation SO MUCH SO that you somehow believe the lack of these specific methods will make flying uber dangerous, YOU don't fly.

If the general public feels unsafe on airplanes, they won't fly. If they don't fly, our economy's in deep ****...or should I say, deeper ****. Call it what it is and you'll get no complaint from me -- but call it groping, raping, nudie booths, yada yada yada, and you're a crybaby. A whining one at that.

And yet if that lawyer's wife and children died in a terrorist attack involving airplanes, I bet he would be the first to file lawsuits against Janet Napolitano, John Pistole, the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA for not doing more to prevent it.

Ah, the old red herring [and false contradiction] that commonly gets brought up in this discussion [wherever it is online, or offline].

The opposition is to these specific pat down methods, and the body scanners - both of which have very gaping holes, neither of which has stopped anything, or thwarted anyone. You can oppose these specific measures and still want better security - you can have better security without these specific measures.

Not having these /specific/ measures doesn't make the likelyhood of getting killed in an airplane any more or less likely than without them.

[and don't even get me started on the TSA's claims with regards to the images made from these things]

You can oppose these specific measures and still want better security - you can have bnetter security without these means. Hell, even with the TSA as it is, they aren't exactly doing as good a job as the quoted statements seem to imply.

And how is it that you know having these procedures in place hasn't thwarted anyone? The people guilty of this crap haven't exactly been rocket scientists. We've had a shoe bomber, an underwear bomber -- both of which would have been stopped by security measures now in place.

The ultimate truth is that the public must feel safe. If they don't feel safe, they won't travel. Why just knock what's being done? What's your suggestion? Or should we just wait for a DC10 to come down out of a dark sky and watch all hell break loose? Or maybe listen to the cellphone calls of passengers being hijacked into the ground?

Something is better than nothing. So. What's your plan?

And that still doesn't negate the premise of my post.
