As noted repeatedly in this thread, what the pilot filmed has been reported in the news many times over the past year. Your patently absurd emotional outburst response speaks volumes about your credibility.

Do you really think Obama designed the scanners? Why don't you look into when they started to design them.
Also look at the requirements that they have the ability to store images. This was a direct contradiction to the lie put out by Homeland Security that they could not. So how much else can you believe?

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

--Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

Wow. The comments are brutal. They're in favor of the pilot and HIGHLY condemning of the TSA. The website is trying to keep up with deleting all of the really angry posts, but some can be read before they're censored.

People are really angry about the TSA abuse. Some of them are calling the TSA "Maobama's SS."

Good for him. I would not be surprised if there are repercussions but to come out publically is courageous if it could cost you your job. Which this could. I will have to check out the comments more often lest they've removed via tos some of the really blatent ones. But its pretty clear people recognize that there is something worthy of their support.

The airline industry had a meeting with Homeland Security and the TSA asking them to reconsider the scanner/patdowns because there had been so many calls and complaints and these are people unlikely to fly again unless they absolutely have to. Thus translates to dollars. But they have said nothing since. If the people who see the dog and pony show in action every day speak up it ads validity to the voices of everyone else.
