Detroit TSA Security Theater (Part 3) Body Scanners

Has the TSA made your safety their priority as the tag-line suggests? Will the body scanners give us extra security, or move us closer to a total police state?

This is the updated version with the fake body scanner image removed.

As I watched this video I can't help thinking about the future in body scanners for these perverts. Can you imagine in 3 to 5 yrs walking into the airport to notice TSA wearing portable scanner goggles? All they have to do is press the button and voila! they see your children in the nude. And how about local cops with this too? We are not far from this technology, I myself own a pair of video goggles which are used for viewing DVD and playing PS3. Makes me sick to think about flying.

@lunaticasai Last year, the us government purchased 500 mobile x-ray vans that do almost exactly what your talking about.

So... do you oppose profiling as well?

[obscuredtruth]

@MajorAmericaSpirit I support airlines having the freedom to set security policies that are right for their customers. If one airline wants to profile, they should be free to do that.

That way I can choose to fly with them or a another airline that has different security policies. I may want to fly on the airlines that allows passengers to carry guns with subsonic rounds or rubber bullets. Freedom is the answer.

While there is definitely a threat to security in airports, the question becomes how do we handle it? If not for the TSA, then what? Private Organizations? Well they would need to be regulated as well at some point, otherwise it's going to be the same story all over again. Bear in mind, I am very ignorant and still too young to understand many of the political aspects of this problem. I just don't see a way around government regulation on one level or another.

By the way, great job!

[obscuredtruth]

@EnzoElite I agree there's a need for some level of security, but government regulations forcing a one size fits all solution will result in the same problems the TSA have created.

I believe the answer is allowing the airlines to set the appropriate level of security their customers desire. Allowing competition and choice will naturally lead to the optimal balance between security and privacy.

Nice job on this video series. Takes a lot of guts to stand up to these people. Most American's just talk watch, talk and don't do.

The TSA are nothing more than glorified security guards. They are NOT law enforcement. That's why they have to call the local cops to do law enforcement. Am wondering what would happen if Sheriff Joe told the TSA in Sky Harbor to piss up a rope when they start treating him like they did you? Grope HIM, and he'll have THEM by the ass=P

I refused to submit to the new full body scanner so the agent said then we will have to pat you down. I said ok no problem, then he had me wait for ten minutes while he was on the radio calling more agents and acting like this was a big deal. Two agents came and stood behind me like I was going to make a run for it or something. Funny thing is all I was wearing was a t-shirt and shorts. You could just look at me and know I didn't have anything on me. They really get upset if you don't bow down.
