So i'm assuming people opposed to the TSA would also like police officers to stop going after drug dealers since they still exist?
No one if forcing anybody on a plane....it's a choice. The airlines are a business. You have several options of traveling....

Last time I was at the airport I witnessed a guy giving a TSA lady a bunch of shit and refusing to cooperate. I was wondering why people are so fking difficult sometimes, so comply and move on.

fear mongering, people would be submissive to everything to people who live on fear and it will be prone to abuse of power by the police. The bottom line is terrorist wouldnt go away with all these TSA pat downs and all these bs as long as Americans are all over the world occupying other people's land.

Hmm.... riddle me that.
Oh brother, Im saying that the minute amount of radiation you're exposed to when you get your teeth X-rayed or go through a body scanner or get X-rayed at the hospital does not create any significant increase in cancer risks.
A terrorist blowing up your plane IS a dramatic immediate health risk

Weed is illegal, however tylenol is not. But you take 10 times the recommended dose of tylenol, you will die.
And dont say 'but tylenol is good for you, tylenol makes you feel better, tylenol is safe and approved by the government'.
Then i will tell you. If we had this conversation 100 years ago, you would say the EXACT same thing about cocaine...
So really... how bad are these illegal drugs?
10 Tylenols WILL NOT kill you, ridiculous statement

That is not what you said. Dont try to 'rewrite history' now.
Radiation is radiation. There is enough radiation to go around. And not the mention those scanners do not penetrate the skin (based on the reports). So if a terrorists decides to take a small 22 caliber pistol and stick it up their ass. What then?
Then you will say "Whats the big deal, if TSA wants to go up my anal so look for weapons"?
Right?
Its exactly what I said, you are claiming that X-rays are a dramatic increase in cancer risks, Im claiming they are not. You dont have a clue but if you go to the doctor for an abdominal CT scan you are getting the amount of radiation you would receive in 2-3 years of background radiation like they use in normal X-rays, they are basically nuking your body in CT scans and increasing your lifetime cancer risk by between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10000.
The odds are already 40% that you will get cancer in your lifetime so an extra 1 in 10000 increase is relative, when you are talking about a radiation dose from a body scanner that is 1/1000th of a CT scan you see its not a realistic health threat.
In other words just go through the fuckin body scanner, show em your small rooster and tell em its the motion of the ocean not the size of the ship and get on your plane

You dont read so well.
Try this, take 20 tylenol, all at the same time, and come back tomorrow and tell me how you feel.
Normal daily dose is 4 grams for a 12 year old, considering regular strength Tylenol is 325 milligrams that would 12 pills....I highly doubt a fully grown large buck like myself would be in the grave after 20 of them
The lethal dosage for a 200 lb male like myself would be around 30-50 grams or taking over 90 pills minimum in 24 hours, honestly if I took fukin 90+ Tylenol in 24 hours you can rest assured I was trying to punch my clock

Going through security at the airport should remind everyone that the terrorists have won. No matter how many terrorists we kill in the middle east, they have changed our way of life possibly forever. Quite sad we've allowed that.

Nope, 9/11 made ppl feel like terrorists like to target aircraft, as a result they've had increased security so that ppl feel safe again boarding a plane
Airliners in the US virtually NEVER crash, I think the last crash was 10 years ago, if it wasnt for terrorism no one would even worry about their plane crashing bc its so infrequent BUT bc they know some raghead suicide bomber is dreaming of blowing it up they need some assurance that procedures are in place to at least TRY to make it more difficult to do so

Yes the few times I fly each year the terrorists have caused me to stand in a body scanner for 5 seconds...big win

Can we just agree enough tylenol will kill you?
Uh okay if you buy a jug of tylenol and take all the pills during a suicide attempt it might kill you
Yes highly dangerous drug, right up there with meth and heroin

you can visit your idiotic relatives via a computer video device. i know that the technology exists, not that i would use it, but maybe 10% of people that fly actually have to but i doubt it

Do you ever want to go anywhere on vacation? Should the SBR bashers have driven 4000 miles each way to Costa Rica

Im just responding to some of the more ridiculous responses that ppl post, **** they just really dont want to be body scanned do they, I just dont even care but maybe Im in the minority I guess, I got bigger problems to worry about other than standing in a body scanner for 5 seconds whenever I fly
