First of all, your 4th Amendment is NOT violated by boarding on the plane. They ALREADY let you know the conditions you need to meet BEFORE you go onboard. The 4th Amendment does not allow that to search your property without letting you know - only time that police can search is if they have the warrant. Since you ALREADY know about the scan/tap down, you have agreed to it. That's the way it is. It's ALWAYS been that way.

Second, the radiation from the body scan is totally insignificant. The dose you get from the body scan is equal to the dose you get from only THREE minutes of flying! Drinking water is more radioactive than going through the scan and I don't hear the outrage about that.

Third, the pat downs are only used IF people FAIL the scan. They don't do on every passenger.

If you have a medical condition, it's YOUR responsibility to notify TSA agents, not the TSA to find out.

It takes only three seconds and you're onboard. So many drama queens here.
 
and.... TSA are not law enforcement officers. Fourth Amendment does not apply here.

Complete, utter rot. Announcing a violation of civil and constitutional rights beforehand does not make it legal.

When they tell you they are going to scan you or frisk you (which happens to less than 1% of people), you have a choice - leave or be frisked. So there's no violation.
 
If people are paranoid enough to fear terrorists popping up from under their airline seats, they should drive. :cool2:

How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA - Technology Review

:hmm:
 
Sunlight breaks and tears up DNA too so should we put a roof over us?

I bet you that that the sun does more DNA damage than the Thz scan.

hmmm yeah.. I think you might want to open and glance at an intro physics book again, unless this statement was made only for debating with no correlation to the real world.

Hint: roentgens per hour

This right here is reason enough to have the damn thing tossed out or revised. You can't randomly select people and subject them to this. If you do it to one; you MUST do it all!

If it was done to every single person boarding a plane, I bet there would be more of an outcry then there is already.
