Most air travelers appear to agree. According to a USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday, 78% of air travelers approve of full-body scanners in airports; 84% believe the scanners would prevent explosives from being carried onto a plane.

there is just no hope at all for liberty.

I wouldn't want to be irradiated several times a week if I was a frequent flyer but if I had to fly I'd go with the gropes. I've been around too many service physicals and courthouses to get upset over a pat down.

However, those who surrender liberty for temporary security will soon have neither.

Turbins and Burka's seem to hold the key.

Liberty went out the window the day we lossed 3200 people to plane bombs..Every little sliver of chance every time we scream liberty these fiends sit back and wait..It was said a long time ago we the American people have no stomach for a long fight..Over the long run we will slip up we will forget and they will remind us once again what a terrible enemy we are to them. Oh and while they sit and rot in cells we will feed their hungry house their homeless and clother their unfortunate while our socialist president apologizes for some indiscretion we may have made to them..

I got the old rubber finger at my last prostate exam. It took three people to help me get my eyes back into my skull and to put my hat back on.

I flight a lot----and a lot of it is international travel. And I have no problem undergoing whatever necessary security check is needed to assure that the plane will safely land on the other side. If I have to undergo a 30 second body scan to get that additional level of security, so be it--I have 4 kids that want me to come home safely.

meanwhile luggage and cargo go unscanned.....Wanna guess where the next bomb will be.

The nature of the exam is irrelevant. it's an invasion of privacy that serves no real purpose. an american citizen moving about the country shouldnt have to surrender privacy to do so. it wasn't a lack of pat downs that led to the events of that terrible day, it was a lack of awareness.

This just flat out scares me.....
