So we always go visit the folks in Chicago for X-mas....Fiance came home today and was telling me about all sorts of issues at the airport.

Something about new scanners that show you naked, and if you don't want to use the scanner you have to submit to a very intrusive pat-down and strip search (if requested).

Also something about a bunch of pilots threatening to strike over it, I don't know.....

If anyone knows if Midway airport in Chicago has these things let me know please...

It's just something that the liberals were protesting and foaming at the mouth about 4 years ago when it first came into the spotlight, but they lost the battle and the machines were made and sold with government grants to government contractors thereby producing huge profit for the lobbyists that got the damn things built.

Now suddenly Faux News sees the potential for profit in this story due to the rising costs of advertising, so they are rekindling the story for their dumbass audience. Suddenly it's a big deal again. The part about the huge profits for lobbyists isn't being talked about or pointed out though on Faux News.

It is now necessary for all air travelers to be sodomized before any domestic flights. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just don't see this as a measure that will prevent an attack by terrorists and it is def. an infringement on our rights. No flying isn't a right but any person who is not involved in a criminal activity should be protected by the bill of rights. Where is the probable cause for this invasion of privacy?

When the government owns all the corporations, strip searches will be common practice prior to most transactions.

Woo Hoo, something to look forward too!!!!

Seriously are we so afraid that we'll forget logical thought and let the government do whatever they want to us?

The one part that you forgot in that little rant is an administration that is comprised of the most radical faction of liberals not only installed these devices, but defend their use.

And, as a bonus, want people molested who do not go through the scanners.

As for Fox News getting potential "profit", they already get better ratings then places you go to have someone tell you what to think. I don't see how reporting this gets them additional "profit."

Sheep of the world submit.....

Recognize this as protection.

We will condition you and save money not building "the camps".

I will not fly. Not getting one of those people touching my daughter or zapping us with xray.

My car runs.

"I don't see how reporting this gets them additional "profit.""

Of course you don't. I'm assuming you just don't GET the advertising business, so no further discussion needed.

How's that new car treating you by the way? Or did you go for the fat person electric chair that can be yours FREE if you call that number they flash on Beck three times during his hour of bs?

Gotta a better solution ? These terrorist are making fools out of us and we are making fools out ourselves by trying to be so politically correct that rather than to offend the obvious we make the rest suffer. In the end the airlines will die. On a good note it will solve the oil shortages..

The amount we spent and things we go through because of the shoe bomber is ridiculous.

The amount we are spending and things we go through because of the underwear bomber is ridiculous.

Both of those attacks were stopped by a traditional security method known as an "azz kicking".

If I were L-3 Communications, Rapidoscan, GE, ete it might be worth setting up some sort of false.........no, we'll just stop that thought right there
