    Default Invasion of privacy.. what will they come up with next?

    Looks like they may be taking airport security to another level.

    Better than a full body anal probe.

    I would rather do a couple of x-rays than be patted down. I have piercings and didn't enjoy having to show them off in public!

    Just so you know, there's virtually no such thing as an "invasion of privacy" in an airport - the Court has long since passed on what's known as an "administrative search exception" to the 4th Amendment's warrant requirements, which basically means that when you choose to enter an airport, you're waiving whatever rights to privacy you may have had before you entered the premises.

    FYI - ya'll have no idea how bad it can get. Because of my background, the facial recognition software picks me up when I enter a terminal and I can usually spot a "shadow" that's been assigned to me within less than 5 minutes after I've come through the door. They'll stay with me so long as I'm there and, if I'm flying and go to pass through security to get to the gates, I'm ALWAYS not only pulled aside, but asked to come in the back for a minute where I'm then thoroughly searched and questioned re destination, reason for travel, etc. Of course, I can always tell that my checked luggage has been thoroughly searched as well when I get it back after flight. MAJOR pain in the ass but, given current circumstances, can't really blame them and there's nothing whatsoever I can do about it as a complaint is likely to get me placed on "no-fly list."

    I got my own no-fly list:

    No flyin AA
    No flyin Northwest
    No flyin Delta

    ...

    As far as I am concerned - they can all go broke. Treating customers like cattle, with their no-customer service service - and then having to prove one's self not a villian. Fuck that.

    I stopped flying two years ago. I just ain't into the hassle no more.

    I have found driving to be a lot more fun. See and experience more of America that way.

    Damn, I already get harrassed and searched almost every time I fly! Now they're gonna have me pose doggie style to get their best x-ray shots too LOL!

    I've been making sure to have my frequent flyer miles put on my tickets in advance, I am told it helps. Last 2 trips I took were a breeze!

    Ha ha ha... no, no, no - nothing wrong. But, having been through SF course and spent time on an A-Team as a Light Weapons and Demolitions expert, they're not about to take any chances with me... besides, the prevailing view that everybody in SF is "crazy" isn't limited to civilians. Even the regular Army thinks our methods are "unsound," and that we're all basically nuts.

    I have a good friend who was SF and he is 100% certifiable, seriously, but loads of fun and a total local character.
