by them are saying. Groping three-old little girls is already here, so why would you doubt it?
And Chertoff's full body scanners despite opposition to them, have already arrived along with several incidents of abuse.
But, it's up to the American people. Boycotts work. And money talks. When they start losing more money than they are making on these ridiculous and cowardly 'security measures', they'll stop.
I hope there are lots of lawsuits also. Free country? Only if we want it and do not apologize for clear abuses of power.
Edited to add just one example of why this is not just 'coming our way', it is already here.
Pilot Refuses Full-Body Scan, Says It Would Violate His RightsMichael Roberts, a first officer with ExpressJet Airlines, refused to submit to a full-body scan and then to a pat-down by Transportation Security Administration officials on Friday, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported. He left Memphis International Airport without boarding a plane.
Roberts, who has worked for ExpressJet for more than four years, was wearing a pilot's uniform and identification at the time.
The security procedures left him with the choice of being physically assaulted or having his privacy violated, Roberts said.
"I was trying to avoid this assault on my person, and I'm not willing to have images of my nude body produced for some stranger in another room to look at either," Roberts told CNN.
Just one, there have been many, many of these abusive incidents reported and this man is standing up for all of us. He may lose his job, but of course we could help that not to happen by supporting him.
Turning a blind eye to abuse never makes it go away. The American people have been serially subjected to abuse under the guise of 'security' since 9/11 happened.
