Poll question: What would be the best way to stop these body scans and searches?
We are all upset over the scans and pat downs. The fact the TSA is doing it. We have heard Janet Napalitano (sp?) say if you don't like it don't fly. We heard Obama say it has to be done to keep us safe. So what is going to stop them.

1. Boycott all air travel
They'll very quickly find a better, less intrusive way to achieve safety.

2. huh.
It's a line I've been using, but people really do act as though Obama is the only elected official in Washington.

I voted to stop flying. The airlines will pressure Congress and TSA for us when they feel the squeeze.

6. Ok here is what I am doing ...
1. stop flying .. period ... I don't have to go overseas so I don't HAVE to fly ...

2. call congress critter and tell em what I think of the TSA's procedures ..

3. call air line and tell em I am not flying until TSA problem is fixed ..

it should not take too long for the air line lobbyist and the congress critter to
sitdown and fix things ...
