I may just have to stop flying. I don't want to be exposed to the radiation of the scanners and I really don't want to be groped.April 2010: The GAO reports that “it remains unclear whether the AIT would have detected the weapon used in the December 2009 incident based on the preliminary information GAO has received.”
Seems to me that the terrorists have already won since we are happy to throw away our freedom for the illusion of security.

I'm so annoyed about this, particularly as we have to fly this Thanksgiving. I love the options of having my children dosed or groped. Dear Husband already has to have a pat down because of an implant, and no doubt the implant I have from breast reconstruction will show up suspicious. Grrrr. Perhaps I'll get one of these: http://www.despair.com/tsa.html.
