  • just came back from london in a 2 day trip. just went through boston... i dunno if anybody had this problem but i've had a headache ever since i stepped through the thing.. just took advil now i'm fine but had anyone ever went through and had a headache? i dont wanna go through it again, i didnt even get a chance to go through the metal detector. the lady just pointed me to the machine for no reason..

  • Muslims should not be allowed the privilege of air travel. Problem solved. If they don't like it they can take a boat to Baghdad. Israeli airlines are very safe because they profile terrorists. But the American politicians don't have the balls to keep our country safe from smelly inbred terrorists. Muslims view civil rights, kindness and consideration as signs of weakness. These animals need to be kept in line and in their proper place. It is the only thing they understand.

  • @Jefgg You have to remember two of the flights that were hijacked on 9-11-2001 originated at Boston Logan!

  • The terrorists have won

  • I can't wait until someone bypasses one of these and still finds a way to smuggle on a bomb. What's gonna happen after that, naked body scans?

  • I hope that is does NOT become normal by the time today's babies become tomorrow's adults, or we may become a 3rd world country. TSA should develop machines that look like metal detectors, but can immediately screen you as you walk through, and test them to prevent 9/11, the shoe, and the underwear bombers. If this works, it may effectively become like a more technologically advanced pre-9/11, and non-fliers will be allowed on the airside terminals, and we could be the 1st world USA again.

  • OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH its for our SAFTEY.

  • This is funny, they say that if you don't want the AIT you can go through a metal or a patdown. They won't let you go through a metal detector, they'll MAKE you get groped and sexually assaulted if you don't want to have nude pictures taken of you.

    Terrorists have won.

  • Exactly how much are you prepared to put up with? Do you really think future administrations are going to reverse all this stuff if people don’t start standing up for their rights? You are being run ragged to satisfy the privilege of “exempt” government honchos who never have to drive their own car, never have to stand in a grocery line, never have to pick up their own cleaning, and never have to be groped going through make-believe “security” lines at the airport.

  • is the scanner called rape-scan? oh that makes sense.

  • this is awful they see ur inner part not even ur clothes its stupid

  • These machines are stupid. The are slow, 20 seconds int his machine compared to milliseconds in a metal detector. They are also huge causing the room to be able to take less of the machines then they did with metal detectors, they expose you to X-rays which will most likely kill more people then if a terror got through and they show illegal images of little kids who go through, Talk about breaking their own laws.

  • Its ridiculous that now they even have to scan the pilots and expose them to radiation on a daily basis.

    As if flying a plane with highly explosive jet fuel at 10,000 feet above the ground isn't a bomb itself!

  • So its illegal for me to touch a 13 year old boy or take naked photos of people to view at my own discretion, yet these guys are above the law and can grope me and see me naked.

    You have more chances of drowning then being killed by a terrorist.

    And they are lying if they believe that a machine that sends out rays of radiation is "safe".

    There is a reason why you can't have too many xrays a year and even with those xrays they will cover people's genitalia to protect their privacy.

  • @Lacoux Well, with X-rays they cover genitalia not only for privacy, but in order to prevent mens' sperm from swimming in circles and scrambling womens' eggs. Now you're getting x-rays over EVERYTHING.

  • @Lacoux child porn laws don't apply move along...

    The cancer deaths from mass irradiating the public will kill many down the road. You are correct x-rays are not "safe" medical imaging people work very hard to minimize your exposure for a medical benefit. Expecting mothers, elderly and the young should avoid x-rays, period. We are the USA mfg of x-ray absorbing undergarments RockyFlatsGear.c om Jeff

  • We need to profile as EL AL does.

  • Problem is...I HAVE to fly next month. I'm going to Ireland for an exchange program and the only time I can go is 2 days after Christmas because I need to be there on the 28th in time for orientation. This is crap. I agree with everfree1998--this is just a test to see how much we will tolerate. If I could, I'd protest, but then I'd be throwing thousands of dollars of my college fund down the drain all because of my stupid government...

  • Respond to this video...

  • I think this is a good idea, and we do have rights because they said we can choose to be searched instead

  • Say Good Bye to our FREEDOM

  • Seriously, this is simply an exercise to test just how much the american public will tolerate. Let them get away with THIS, and they know you'll put up with anything. Your personal freedom and constitutional rights are NOT a small price to pay, in fact there's nothing greater.

  • Bomb sniffing dogs, metal detectors, and an armed air marshal on every plane…this should solve the problem. But if not? I'll take the astronomical odds of terrorist attack over submitting to a machine that is more likely to kill me from cancer, or being sexually assaulted. A life without freedom is not worth living anyway.

  • Shoot child molesters and rapists

  • next sports stadiums

  • instead of using science to cure cancer they use it as a cheap shot at getting people naked....

  • Comment removed

  • If they already are at the airport with a bomb... it's kind of too late, cause they can just detonate it there and kill however many people there are at the airport, and cause there to be delays for days. The airport is TOO LATE to look for terrorists.

  • Um.. Christmas Day bomber... 9/11... does anyone remember the fact anymore that in recent memory we've had attacks on American soil, perpetrated from airplanes? If some remote operator gets to see me naked on a computer screen to make sure that the guy behind me doesn't bring a bomb onto my plane, it's a small price to pay.

  • when it gets to where i need to be patted down for every place i go or event i attend then there no point in going out anymore.. if ppl are so afraid that trains, stadium events, etc. need scanners and pat downs too, then just stay inside cuddled in your corner like a scared dog and wait for the roof to fall in and kill you...theres no need for this much fear that we give up our rights to personal space and freedom.. TSA =atari aliens:personal space invaders

  • WE NEED MORE PORN!

  • TSA = Terrorist Services of America

    America needs to "Just Say No" and get rid of this, it does not work to make anyone feel safer...except maybe the real terrorists as we all distracted by the government stupidity. Or is it a government conspiracy in an attempt to push the American people to play follow the leader like a bunch of lemmings?

  • Training you to be obedient slaves.

  • @BrainDeadBritain

    hold on let me get my tinfoil hat!

    ya or not

    but i will agree this is excessive, but people blow it way out of proportion but by all means protest it and take to the streets this is why Americana have guns people shouldnt fear their government governments should fear their people as long as dictators die freedom will live to see another day

  • "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." -James Madison

  • George Washington set our system up so that when our gov gets out of control like this, our military is supposed to protect our freedoms WITH A MIGHTY FORCE. HELP US GEORGE WASHINGTON-KENOBI! You are our ONLY HOPE! Our military has forgotten their sole purpose! PROTECTING OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE! Please, American Military leadership, DO YOUR JOBS! Blow them up in THEIR houses, NOT OURS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The radiation exposure to passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft is caused not only by x rays (photons) but also by a variety of energetic particles such as neutrons, protons, electrons, muons, and pions. These radiation types are produced as a result of the interaction with the Earth's atmosphere of high-energy particles (primarily protons and alpha particles) that come from a variety of cosmic sources in our galaxy, with a lesser contribution from our own sun.

  • perverts

  • and the government thought this was a worthwhile expense from the taxpayer's dollar? 

  • govierno mas ignorante, ellos mismos son el terrorismo

  • Pepole could just make a prosthetic penis large enough to put some sort of flamible liquid into! & it doesnt stop there, the possibilties are endless with hollow prosthetics, one could make one hell of a mess with enough prosthetics filled with gasoline on an airplane!

  • @Meekseek Thought it was the 24th

  • When they stick explosives in their body cavities, are we to stand in line for a cavity search?

    How do I know the skivyman in Detriot wasn't a planned failure

    to encourage the use of these darling machines?

    Why are the feds keeping the scanned images

    WHY do they need to keep scans of innocent people that have been okayed to fly??

    I'd rather forgo this sort of "protection" thanks all the same, nor do I want to be exposed to radiation, whilst my 4th amendment rights are trampled upon!

  • If the naked body scanners are nothing than a trick to intimidate people and prevent them from flying then it already works. I never fly with a plane if I know that I have to go through a naked body scanner before or after. No compromise. So the only ones who really are gonna suffer from such security measures will be the airports and airlines themselves who will lose more and more customers. This means bad times for airlines business, I guess.

  • USA is becoming like a giant concentration camp, we, the American people are being assaulted, our civil liberties taken away by the federal government.

    LET's REVOLT against the rape of our Constitution !

  • imma go into 1 of these with a boner lmao

  • I agree, stop flying at all costs. Both the scanners and the pat downs are completely unnecessary and serious invasions of privacy. We as citizens have every right to demand our privacy for whatever reason. On top of that, no terror plot has ever been foiled by the TSA at airport security, ever. It has always been through intelligence in the FBI, CIA or other agency. There are smarter ways to take car of this.

  • @rattler201

    no terror plot has ever been foiled by the TSA at airport security, ever.

    EXACTLY, it's time we change that!

  • @rattler201 STOP flying and don't put up with this. STUFF them in the full body scanner as a group.

  • @rattler201

    I agree.

    I've been hearing reports that they unknowingly radiate you and your car when you drive into the airport.

    We are living in a police state.

  • @rattler201 U must be really fat or packin a 2 inch gun there. Even your wife aint happy with your manhood. Insecure with yourself much? I hope they do rid of the body scanners and your on the plane that goes down from a terrorist attack.

  • Please, people like you think you're so smart, but the majority of us, who know how to argue, and know how to speak up when something is wrong, laugh at you people since you insist on making yourselvrs //sound like/// you've got the mental capacity of a retarded fetus.

  • @travelsonic Butt Hurt?

  • @rattler201 Ur still crying?

  • Stop flying. Just stop. Don't make excuses. Just stop flying. If we don't stand up to this, and other forms of tyranny, we will soon live in Bolshevik Russia.

  • Did TSA release some full body scan porn yet?

    I'm very curious.

  • Comment removed

  • Open borders?

    Amish terrorists?

    What's next?

  • They got caught on that lie. They have been storing the images. Was on the news today. So , what else are they lieing about? "Low dose of Radiation"?

    They use enough radiation to set off the next Underwear bombers underwear? Oh , Ya , Thats right , he was escorted past security by a CIA agent.

    Wait , isn't that why they need the 'new' security? Because of the guy they planted?

    Hmmm , Lie , lie and more lies , thats our Taxes hard at work , unlike the TSA employees.

    Wake Up!

  • Why do they want to search when all the terrorists acts were planned and carried out by the government, CIA or patsies.. ? Remember the plane that went down last winter in Buffalo? A woman (Beverly Eckert) was on that flight who just exposed some 911 truth evidence to Obama.

  • it's a known fact the TSA airports agents are some of the lowest paid government employees; which explains the low level of IQ. 

  • Lowest paid is a SIN..but doesn't mean lowest IQ. What a moronic statement.....

  • TSA is the biggest joke!!! Most of them are ghetto and can't even construct sentences without making grammatical errors and not to mention how pathetic they are when comes to doing their jobs!! They would be on their cell phones, talking among themselves and think they are LAW ENFORCEMENT yet they are just plan pathetic and worthless!!!!!!!!

  • What happens if you have an erection when going through, LOL!!!

  • x ray exposure to the head for 20 secs? Are you kidding me, what if you're a frequent flyer and this is made mandatory.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 TSA Officers are exposed ALL DAY EVERY DAY....what are you afraid of with SEVEN seconds..not even 20 seconds??

  • @dadsfavor8 Due to the underwear bomber the groin area IS scanned slower than the rest of the body, as you know the skin is not that thick down there. Call me a coward if you will, but if I can avoid a risk of cancer they can "touch my junk" all they want. This back scatter radiation is more of a health hazzard than we are led to believe. Plus the TSA officers are not the smartest bunch of people just saying.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 PART ONE~ You are so wrong about the things you say. I KNOW that the body is scanned the same all the way through the process. It does NOT show more "there" than anywhere else....And the TSA idiots are Lawyers, Policemen, ex CIA, Teachers, EMT's Mothers, Fathers, ect. I KNOW because I am one.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 PART TWO~ A great friend of mine who worked there now works for the FBI, one worked for the CIA and is now doing this as a retirement...I know cops that have and still do work there....so until you get the facts straight...I wouldn't say much more. Sounds like you are one of those people that just hear and believe what the media says and what other people who know nothing are saying. WORK there...then make your assessment fairly.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 PART THREE~ As far as being afraid of this 6-7 second scan..I guess you would be too afraid to work there & be exposed 40 hours a week to it like the Officers are. And TRUST me when i say THIS.

    NO ONE..& I mean NO ONE ..WANTS to touch anyone's "junk".

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 ~ We did not ask for this rule to change..we did not invent this technology...we are just people like the rest of you out there who has a job to do & things in this business change..no one signed up to be doing THIS new pat down...It comes with the job now though..whether you OR I like it or not. Hope this clears things up a little better for you.

  • @dadsfavor8 Most people aren't in the business of violating people's rights, feeling up people and subjecting them to unknown amounts of radiation. "Just doing our job" - that lame ass, spineless excuse didn't work at the Nuremberg trials. If you or any of your other colleagues touch my wife or daughter on our yearly trip to Poland to visit family, it will not be pretty for anyone involved. Enough is enough. Man up and refuse to continue this madness or deal with pissed off people.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 ~ I love my job, because I love people. I know 911 happened. I was an EMT and was injured on the job. Another way for me to help save a life, hopefully by preventing something, would be doing the TSA work.

  • The machines have multiple (3 front 3 rear in dual rapiscan systems) x-ray sources at the groin level yes, the tissue closer gets a larger dose. The x-rays can be as high as 150KVp stronger than a CT machine (125KVp) a few bounce off most are absorbed deep in the body scramble DNA and mess up cells. We are the USA mfg of x-ray absorbing undergarments Rocky Flats Gear .com Jeff

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 PART SIX- The end...lol

    I wish we could post longer postings...haha

    Everyone in every job has stupid people working with and for them. NO ONE is exempt from this. But to call EVERY TSA Officer a pervert,low IQ, can't work at BK,..THOSE are idiotic statements. We are people like you...doing a job. A different and difficult job. Look how people feel about US! That makes it very difficult in a way, to say the least. Have a GREAT week. Life is too short for this nonsense. Peace

  • Does the Department of Justice have Sovereign Authority over you? yes if you say they do. This is a Department under the President, just like his Janitorial Department, does a White House Janitor have any Authority over you? hell no and neither does and TSA maggott, unless you consent, so stop consenting.

  • i'm mad as hell, and i am not going to take it anymore

    

  • @Buckman82 Great that is the spirit. Get as many travellers to join the "I do not consent movement". We are free dam it, so lets start acting like it. 'I am a Sovereign Man/Woman and do not consent to your authority so step aside or I'll sue you and your department head, now show me the way to my Gate"

  • wow this reporter is really promoting these scanners? I feel bad some people think they are doing a good thing... Peace!

  • @3ogla All tv networks will promote this type of nonesense including check points on the road. This is just another check point. Now there are check points everywhere you go, so stop consenting. We must educate each other on the fact that TSA has no Authority in any of the 50 States, only in DC. So stop consenting and prepare your selves to sue these low lifes if they attempt to stop your travel.

  • gross

  • WAKE UP SHEEPLE AND **STOP** ALLOWING THIS CRAP! If everyone boycotted it then it wouldn't be an issue! Be outraged!!! My gym (24 hour Fitness) just went from using membership cards to now scanning your finger! And guess what?! I, like many others, REFUSE to use it! I don't care how many promises people make to you to "assure" you that nothing is stored and your privacy is secure.... yeah right! Do u believe everything ppl & the gov. tell you?!?! START TAKING A STAND AND BE OUTRAGED!

  • @azgirl777 God Bless you freedom fighter, but remember to always deny your consent and state you "Sovereignty"

    donotconsent@yahoo.com

  • all men requesting to skip the scanner have a microscopic member

  • Stop Consenting period. Just simply say " I am a Sovereign man/woman and I do not consent and give you no Authority, if you impead my natural right to travel, I'll sue you and your department head, personally and in your capacity", that is it. They have not Authority outside of Washington DC unless you give it to them, they are seeing how far we will put up with these violations. Stop giving consent to be raped and be sure to line up an Attorney so you can sue them. donotconsent83@yahoo.com

  • @donotconsent83 are you really serious, or are you just being sarcastic with that advice?

  • @bigdogITbiker I am dead serious, read the US Code for yourself:U.S. Code TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 3002. Definitions 15) ‘‘United States’’ means— (A) a Federal corporation; TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE § 3002. Definitions (14) ‘‘State’’ means any of the several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, or any territory or possession of the United States. (The 50 States are no included)
  • @bigdogITbiker BELIEVE NOTHING UNTIL YOU CHECK IT FOR YOUR SELF!

    US Code

    TITLE 31—MONEY AND FINANCE

    § 103. United States

    In this title, ‘‘United States’’, when used in a

    geographic sense, means the States of the

    United States and the District of Columbia.

    I know this is a hell of a concept for most. It took me alot of research before I trully understood the scope of the scam. All TV and Radio Corporations are in on the scam to deceive us and all public schools, donotconsent83@yahoo.com

  • Just so everyone knows, the federal marshals revealed that they had stored over 20000 of these non-storable images. Your tax dollars at work.

  • @Paulsur Yes. they said they wouldn't, and why should they store images of people deemed "safe to fly".. outrageous lies, I'm outraged!

  • If everyone flying this holiday season and is selected for the full body scan, opts for the pat down instead, we can break the system and overwhelm The Stupid Administration.

  • man he's got a small weiner

  • TSA is lying. If the picture is remotely viewed, then the image is being transmitted.

    Anything sent over the net gets public for perverts to see.

  • Half you people have your pants hanging off your ass these days anyway. Whats this machine going to do expose your little penis too? Don't be a bunch of cry babies, it's your chance to moon TSA.

  • Low radiation, but what about someone that flies constantly?

  • this is unbelievable Im14 isn't this child pornography? I don't see the right they have to do this or "pat us down" which is them touching your groin and what not and if they weren't government it would be sexual assault now inst that dumb.

  • Please explain to me how enough xray radiation to view our body in detail, hits us in two minutes of flying in a plane at 30000 feet, which is well below the level of our atmosphere that absorbs incoming harmful xray radiation from space! AND! If this were the case, why would we want MORE radiation hitting us before we even get on the flight?!

    Everyone should just say NO to the machine. The lines would get wayyy too long for them to handle if they had to feel everyone up!

  • But Muslim women are to allow only a pat-down of their head and neck areas, and should request that they do their own pat-down of those areas, so that

    the TSA worker does not have to touch them. But NUNS are required to have either the body scan or full pat-down...is that not worthy of a religious objection? And when, for Heaven's sake, was the last time a NUN carried a bomb or WMD on an airplane or anywhere else?

  • Im going to get a boner and then walk through

  • If they take a picture of a child, isnt it kinda close to child pornography?

  • @peachypink321 It is child sex abuse.

  • $130K per machine, no wonder lobbyist shareholders are forcing the idea down the govt's throat

  • Curcumstances? Such as? Do you really believe Franklin had no idea what it was like to live under the rule of the totalitarian society our apathy has created for us? I don't think so. This equipment was specifically designed to save and transmit images. Kair knew that when he gave his speech. TSA wanted that capability to grease the legal system. They put it in the RFP. They sent the RFP out for bids, and then they PURCHASED IT with no thought of our rights, using OUR hard-earned tax dollars.

  • Do the pat down and fart in their faces.

  • Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

    -Ben Franklin

  • @BruinsFan731 The circumstances and conditions that were present when that statement was made were much different. Not to mention, mass transit air travel didn't exist back then either. I don't think Ben Franklin would use that statement for what's going on here.

  • @serverandenforcer You're right, circumstances were different back then. People had balls, honor and principle back then. Now all that's left is a nation full of unarmed pussies that beg the government to control their lives so they can sit in front of their TV being lazy and stupid...

  • @BruinsFan731 I agree with Ben and your post...

  • @BruinsFan731 yes !!!!!!!!!

  • No sir I don't like it

  • More coming. All you can do is stop flying.

    We were warned about this 40 years ago. Look at the warnings now. And look at the warnings 2,000 years ago. All coming true. As yourself, “Is this the type of World I want to have my children to live in?”

  • No it's not "safe" for those of us who have already been exposed to too much radiation all ready. And the pat downs are government sanctioned molestations.

  • heads up airport security.... your about to get a bunch of sex addicts interviewing for a job XD

  • It's good to know you have a choice.

    If you don't want to go through the machine and have TSA agents joke about the size of your penis all you have to do is let one of them grope your balls.

  • i would rather take the risk to fly with terrorist which has the probability of practically zero... you have higher risk to exposure to dangerous radioactive and get cancer in your testicles.. think about it, its 20mins of unknown level of dangerous radioactive radiation on you...

  • @GodFatherMMM 20 seconds.. yeah.. whatever..

  • sure 9/11 only happens to the unlucky ones. let me see cancer. which is curable and treatable (which is really just a pretty remote risk) or death by crashing while killing hundreds of Americans ?

    Which to choose.....

  • @luisloks you really think all cancer is curable? News flash, it's not. about 565,650 Americans died of cancer in 2008. Cancer is the second most common killer of Americans behind only heart disease. And no it's not a remote risk because radiation exposure is cumulative. Every time you have an x-ray at the dentist or doctor's you are one step closer to having radiation caused problems.

  • no storage capacity my ass.. the fact that they showed the image to everybody on youtube at 1:15 means they can get the image and store it and distribute it on facebook or youtube ANYTIME THEY WANT..

  • lol, could u imagine the person reviewing the scans seeing someone they find attractive and yelling "DAAAAAAAAMN!" so loud that the person being scanned could here it? lmao. they could be a chapelle scetch

  • Do children have to go through this?

  • damn it america

  • Orwell was right. Sad that America is falling to pieces. Do not submit to body scans. They will be an absolute waste of money if everyone opts out.

  • This is beyond invading privacy.they might as well just tell everyone to strip down naked.its basically the same thing except your face is blurred in the picture.you can see the size of someones penis and everything.this is messed up.and it makes me so mad to know that our rights are being taken away one by one.

  • these scanners should of been in place prior to 9/11 thats like putting a traffic light after someone dies at the location of the traffic lights

  • I've heard there have been images stored.

    ....and heres the link,

    news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-200­12583-281.html

  • The fallacy is that TSA was under the impression that we demand solutions AT ALL COSTS (i.e., any invasion of our person, erosion of our rights, dollars from our pockets). TSA doesn't know America very well -- do they?

  • This is so damn sick.. I am done flying.

  • If I ever get caught in one of those, ill just do a little dance. lol 5 cent , 10 cent, quarter, dollar , dollar, dollar

  • heads up airport security... your about to get a bunch of sex addicts interviewing for a job.

  • When you delete it its still there.....
