Robert Dean Cites 4th Amendment Violation, Sues TSA Over Full-Body Scans

You don't give up your Constitutional rights to get on an airplane.

In modern times, where people's jobs are dependent upon their being able to get from point A to point B in record time, or get home from vacations at a particular time in order to make it back to work on time,  plane travel is a *have to*.

Right after 9/11 (before, actually, when my family fell victim to an act of t3rr0r), I said that it's very easy for the government to keep Americans safe from terr0r attacks by locking everybody up into controllable quadrants, & by invading all of our privacy & restricting our freedom of movement.  We'd all be living like the world was one great big prison (the rich, of course, would be exempt from this, able to fly in private jets & live behind gated communities with private security forces).  To do that would have a chilling effect on our very nature & identities as free people.

By law, the government can't do it, nor is it necessary. Anyone running for public office who suggests it or resorts to it is the wrong person for the job.  Every generation of this country has faced this sort of challenge and not shredded the Constitution to keep Americans' covenant with their government.

Nothing of the abuses being committed by our government have anything to do with keeping us safe. The reason for the scanners is to bilk taxpayers out of money to pay a manufacturer for these machines.  It's about lending the illusion that we're safe, in order that commerce continues.  

If you have been reading and watching news reports, these scanners wouldn't necessarily have prevented what you're so terr!fied of.  There are serious questions about their safety, as well.  The grope-r@pes also wouldn't prevent what you're so terr!fied of.  The grope-r@pes are not SOP, & aren't being performed correctly.  The grope-downs are NOT how pat downs are supposed to be done, so the persons groping are either s3x offending id-jits or warped, twisted nvtcases practicing their own ideas for catching t3rror!sts.  Nothing of what's going on is what we should expect of professional security services in the US. It's as if the Three Stooges took over the Department Of Homeland Security.

An anti-terrorism specialist for the Israeli Secret Services, and the former director of security for El Al Airlines (and currently running a security consulting firm in New Jersey) was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last week and explained why and how Israel and other nations have the most secure airlines in the world, nearly perfect safety and security records, without using scanners or body searches.
