At wewontfly.com they are announcing a National Opt Out Day where you opt out of having your naked body photographed by TSA agents. If you’re not flying tell your friends and/or relatives to opt out and retain their privacy and their dignity while they travel about the country.Not too long ago I recounted my experience with the body scanners and helped spread the word. I hope you will do the same.
Below is a video of radio host Meg McLain who opted out and was treated like a criminal for doing so. After opting out she was told to stand there to have her body frisked...or as their “new” policy requires, felt up and have her intimate areas of her body groped. This is truly disturbing, though she refused and had her plane ticket ripped in half because of her protest. Perhaps the TSA should change their name to XXX with their naked body scanners and their intrusive, undignified, and unnecessary frisking procedures.
