poor thing. Him probly have a case and can get a $$. But usually i would think they could let tsa know, so that them will take other measures to probe the bag?
one lady on the news here had a prosthetic breast from a bout with cancer, so it never look right in the scanner and they send her to get a <span style="text-decoration: line-through">pat down</span> feel-up... when them feel her breast they ask is wha, and she tell them it's a prosthetic... she say they tell her they must see it!

Caw dem only spen 3 mont an $4k fi di likkle bomb stunt them pull odda day, but it result in multiple cash in the xtra security measures
Al Qaeda, it is said, plans the "death of a thousand cuts" by doing what they are doing.
Each time they try something different it forces the united States to adopt even more invasive, time consuming, inconveniencing and expensive counter measures.
They are, in effect fighting the last war, planning for repetition of tactics that will not be tried again by Al Qaeda but they have to do that to give the impression that they are protecting us while all the while U.S killings of people in the Middle East and western Asia creates more "terrorists" with novel ways to create mayhem than they can keep up with.
What I would like to see on u-tube is a video of the excitement ( certainly not sexual) that happens when a male agent tries to pat down (and up) BlakkGiant.
A grassroots effort that began with a single Web page exhorting air travelers to decline body scans has become a full-fledged Internet sensation that has the uncommon distinction of officially irking the Transportation Security Administration.
The idea behind National Opt-Out Day is simple: on the day before Thanksgiving, when screening lines stretch so far they seem to snake back on themselves like an ouroboros, Americans should opt out of what critics call "pornoscans." Instead, they should choose a police-style pat-down instead, which will take TSA screeners far longer to complete.
TSA head John Pistole initially called the idea "irresponsible" in a statement last week. At a breakfast meeting with reporters yesterday, he moderated his criticisms and warned there was the "potential" for slowdowns if the opt-out protest is widespread.

It may be. Few federal agencies have found themselves the subject of so much public obloquy in such a short time. TSA screeners have been mocked by the cast of Saturday Night Live, lampooned in verse by Grammy-winning musician Steve Vaus, and parodied in a cartoon video. Rush Limbaugh offered this memorable call to arms: "Keep your hands off my tea bag, Mr. President."
Members of Congress are pushing back against TSA's new procedures, and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was forced yesterday to say that TSA was not being inconsistent in its public statements. An ABC News poll found increasing public opposition to full body X-ray scanners. Last week's viral video featured John "Don't Touch My Junk" Tyner; this week's showed a young boy being screened with his shirt removed. (That video garnered more than 1.1 million views on YouTube and a response by TSA saying that "no complaints were filed" as a result of the incident.)
National Opt-Out Day began quietly enough, with a one-page Web site created by Brian Sodergren of Ashburn, Va. Then it began to rocket around Twitter and the loose confederation of anti-body screening Web sites including DontScan.us, StopDigitalStripSearches.org, and WeWontFly.com. The phrase returns over half a million hits on Google.
James Babb, who with George Donnelly co-founded the We Won't Fly grassroots group that's promoting the opt-out concept, says he's "just a regular dad" who began organizing locally a month ago after he learned the full-body scanners were coming to the nearby Philadelphia airport.
Their online effort was an instant hit. "By the third day of our Web site, we had to get a new server because it almost melted," Babb told CNET yesterday. "It totally went viral."
In a pre-Internet era, TSA could have weathered these criticisms, which would probably never have coalesced into a date and a strategy for what might be called strict civil obedience. But as the Thanksgiving travel season draws near, the reaction to TSA's new procedures has been visceral and sharply critical, aided by cell phone recordings of security line incidents, privacy and health concerns, and Web sites including the Drudge Report, which published a photograph of a hands-on examination of a nun with the caption: "THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON.
