Dont want to be scanned? Don't fly. They don't see you naked, anyways.

I agree. I think this should apply to all modes of transportation. I think that strip searches and full body scans should apply to anyone who wants to ride a train or subway, drive a car or ride a bus. Who are these people to think that they have a right to not be searched by government employees without just cause? These crazy people act like they have a Constitutional Amendment on their side or something.

We've already seen what happens with busses (London, etc).

Well now that's just funny.

I was obviously being facetious, but if 20 years ago you had told people that one day they would be strip searched and X-rayed before they could fly on a plane, they would have laughed too...

they would have laughed at the far-fetched thought that someone would actually plan about having an explosive device on them in order to blow up themselves and the other passengers in a plane too

Doesn't change the fact that it is a violation of our civil rights to force us to accept an illegal search or else be arrested.

According to the article linked by Andrew the lady wasn't even arrested for refusing to be searched, she was arrested for protesting the search. So apparently TSA not only can violate your 4th Amendment rights, they can arrest you for using your 1st Amendment rights as well.

If you want to complain about being shorted on civil rights (which they aren't doing........), head on over to a country with a dictatorship. I'm sure the complaining would stop pretty quickly.

BTW... what makes you believe that they are violating our civil rights?

Well, the fourth amendment does protect us from unlawful and unreasonable searches and seizures.
