Comment Re:This misses the point (Score 1) 681

Is there nothing in the fine print of purchasing a plane ticket that says you need to submit to the airlines security measures via the TSA?

What if everyone decided to sue, or press charges against the TSA every time they insisted on body scan or pat down? It would probably get laughed out of court if one person did it, but if everyone, or many people did it all the time....?

Go on your flight, and when you get home look up your local attorney a law.

I'm not so worried about naked pictures of myself. Nobody wants to see pictures of a naked fat middle aged white guy.

Its the continual erosion of rights. Metal detector: Ok, quick non-invasive. Xray my bags, sure also quick wouldn't want to make it that easy for someone to sneak a gun on the plane. Take my shoes off?: Ok this is starting to get a bit silly and annoying, but I suppose i'll give you this one. No water bottles: what are you guys smoking, but what can I do to push back? Naked pictures?: No thanks, i'll go for the opt-out for the pat down, then at least it will be as uncomfortable for you as it will be for me.

If it takes a little OMG-naked to get traction with more people, so be it. It should have happened sooner but at least there's pushback now.
