Of course every day should be opt out day, but lets get this going.

Not only should everyone refuse the strip search, everyone should also refuse the groin check as well. That will stop up the TSA's works in a big way. Hope and change?

No, it will not stop up the TSA in any way. It won't take them any time at all to tell you that "you ain't flyin' today; so turn around and go home." You will find that the TSA won't care very much that you paid a bundle for your T'day travel tickets. (And, since you've already bought and paid for that non-refundable cheapo fare, the airline is not going to care very much that you missed the flight with your juvenile actions at the screening point.) If you do not do the body scanner, then you will submit to the pat down, or you won't be going home to Grandma's house for T'day.

Complain to your Congressman all you want. Let's hope he didn't get voted out of office in this last election. He may not care, either.

I'm opting out. Of flying. Staying home that day instead, because I know all the idiots protesting are just going to slow down the queue and make people miss their flights... 😉

I heard one of the opt-out organizers on the radio this morning. I get where he's coming from on the reason people don't like the backscatter devices, but they're certainly not doing themselves any favors by targeting the Wednesday before Thanksgiving...

Who was it that signed into law the TSA?

I agree, That is why it will never work!

It was meant to be a joke.

I'll be flying back from DUB on opt out day. The Irish screeners have it right because they know we can't get our id's at the local corner store. When my knee sets off the magnetometer they give me a wanding and send me on my way. There are options for flightcrew in the USA but the TSA does not see fit to implement them.

I opt out of the AIT machines on principle and also because I don't want any more radiation than I already get from flying the aircraft at high altitude. On occasion the airplane is late because the pat down takes so long that I get to the airplane late. I won't rush my procedures just to be on time when a broken procedure is what makes me late. If enough airplanes are late then the airlines will put pressure on the TSA after all this whole thing is about the money!

Regards,

Bob

They were reporting on CNN today that TSA announced that anyone claiming religious objection to patdown will be denied access to secure side. Couldn't find anything on-line about it.

Apparently, TSA isn't even asking to touch your junk. They just do it.

San Antonio Intl. Airport was uncrowded and passengers
were orderly going through the security lines. There were a few who
chose the pat-down (didn't seem to slow the lines down) but most
went through the scanners.

OK! Now tell us who has the helm now? NOW is when the government has gone to far. WHO has the power to reel in the TSA? What was his name? It escapes me? OHHH now I remember it was some guy named OBAMA. The sword cuts both ways. Only difference between Obama & Bush beyond skin color ir that one is a right wing civil liberties confiscating Fascist and the other is a left wing civil liberties confiscating Fascist.

Hope & Change my arse! This one keeps going he's going to make the Germans of the 1930's look like Boy Scouts

I was going to wish you a happy Thanksgiving but it is quite obvious that you cannot get our from under the ruthless fascist oppression from which you suffer at the hands of this horrible country and its elected officials....

Oh well.

Happy Thanksgiving anyway. 🙄
