Now watch the video for yourself:

I’m sorry, but the only terrorism I see happening at this airport is courtesy of the TSA. A completely lawless agency, which recently illegally changed it’s rules to say that body scanners may be mandatory for “some” passengers, without making it clear what the criteria for this arbitrary exclusion is.

Yes, the same body scanners that were found to have a 96% fail rate during an audit last year. For more, see the recent post: TSA Moves to Make Ineffective Body Scanners Mandatory.

Importantly, it appears the TSA’s latest shady move may be illegal. AsForbes reported in the article, TSA Body Scan? Just Say ‘No,’ Leading Expert Says:

Passengers required by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to submit to a body scan can legally refuse, according to Marc Rotenberg, President of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

Specifically, Rotenberg stated in writing that “ passengers have a legal right to refuse the AIT scan. The agency action is contrary to the earlier representations before the D.C. Circuit and to the holding in EPIC v DHS.”

He elaborated that “the last minute announcement by the TSA is troubling and appears contrary to the agency’s previous representations about the program and to the decision of the D.C. Circuit in EPIC v. DHS. In that case the DHS represented that the body scanner program was optional and that passenger could always elect to opt for a pat-down. The D.C. Circuit, relying on the government’s representation, concluded that there was therefore no Fourth Amendment violation, because as Judge (Douglas H.) Ginsburg explained for the court,

‘More telling, any passenger may opt-out of AIT screening in favor of a pat-down , which allows him to decide which of the two options for detecting a concealed, nonmetallic weapon or explosive is least invasive.’”
