$11,000 fine, arrest possible for some who refuse airport scans and pat downs
If you don't want to pass through an airport scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to undergo the alternative, a thorough manual search, you may have to find another way to travel this holiday season.
The TSA is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.
That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.
"Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave that process," says Sari Koshetz, regional TSA spokesperson, based in Miami.
Koshetz said such passengers would be questioned "until it is determined that they don't pose a threat" to the public.
Palm Beach Sheriff's Office spokesperson Teri Barbera said PBSO deputies stationed at the airport would become involved when requested by the TSA.
"We will handle each incident on a case-by-case basis," she said.
No one will be forcibly searched or arrested "just because they refuse to go through the security procedures," Barbera said. "That may rise to the level of suspicious behavior for the TSA, but it wouldn't rise to the level of suspicious behavior for a deputy," she said.
I opt out. period.
I will never ever submit to being groped in public all in the name of 'fear' or 'terrorists'.
I do not trust the government when they tell me 'it's for my own good'.
IMHO they needed to prevent terrorists from getting into the country first. It is idiotic to me that our borders are wide open & these people can just walk in & we have implemented 'pat downs' in airports after all this time has passed.
And meanwhile..polls show 4 out of 5 Americans have no problem with this.
If this is the case then just watch as this spreads. There's lots of big money to be made off these naked scanners by some powerful globalists who are behind the company that makes them.

I think the 80% approval rate for this is mostly from people who have not had the full treatment yet

You are probably right on the above.
The TSA needs to learn from the Israeli experts:

Yes. Apparently, George Soros owned 11,000 shares of the body scanner stock up until around Sept of this year, shortly before they came into question.
I'd like to see us using the El Al method, where human beings are carefully selected and extensively trained to use their intelligence to screen passengers. But, in America it seems we are forbidden to use our brains for anything but voting for American Idol.
many, (especially males) pay to get groped, and the Government offers to do it for free!
...what's the problem you big weenies?!
