Washington - Faced with a barrage of questions about new airline screening procedures, the head of the Transportation Security Administration said today there would be no changes in the use of full-body scans and pat-downs for passengers.
Administrator John Pistole acknowledged at a congressional hearing that the new body imagers, along with more thorough pat-downs, are causing a public outcry. But he argued that educating the public, rather than changing the procedures, was the appropriate answer.
"Am I going to change the policies?" he said. "No."
While the pat-downs may not change, Pistole said that John Tyner, an airline passenger who attracted national attention this week when a video of him refusing the pat-down was posted on YouTube, would likely not face any fines. Tyner's phrase, "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested," helped make the video go viral.

"I do not anticipate anything coming from that," Pistole said when asked about Tyner.
I wonder for how long is the public going to accept to live in the lie of 9/11. We know it was a black op from CIA and Mossad, so why do we let them run us like children or cattle actually. Have we all lost our moral compass and dignity?

the solution is to wear a dildo/strapon as they screen you. It's not illegal.. if they are looking for something and find an 8inch johnson strapped to your pelvis... well... it would be intresting for eveyrone i'm sure. sounds like a Jackass skit...

I don't think the reason the majority of people don't want to go thru is because of the virtual nudity. It's likely because of the fear of radiation exposure. Especially if you are a frequent traveler. The fears might be unfounded, but understandable.
