What do you think about this? should it be allowed?

I just found out HSA/TSA is scanning us in airports without our knowledge. In a trip from London to Miami a passenger was removed as he was about to exit the building..... He passed through no known scanners and yet armed guards removed him from the exit to be questioned because he set off their alarms testing for radioactivity. ....He had had a stress test with involves ingesting radioactive materials.

In questioning he was not allowed to use his cell phone or have contact with anyone. The ordeal lasted for several hours....

Do you think they should be allowed to search anyone without notice? seems like a breach of the Bill of rights....

If they blew up your airplane, I bet that would suck, too.

Do I think that somebody who set off a radiation alarm at the airport should be searched?
Hmmm...

They already do it at many points in most major U.S. cities. It's covered under their national security and DOD programs.

You want to search for S.193 circa 1997 introduced by Sen. John Glenn. titled Human Research Subject Protections Act of 1997 (105th, 1st) and read what he said about "informed consent" and radiation experiments on our own citizens w/out consent and how it has been declared by "Executive Order" dating back to 1985.

Be prepared to be pinged as well after entering the search query.

start profiling. start searching muslim males between the ages of 15-45. the most likely age for a muslim male to be a suicide bomber.

If you go to the airport, you should know..........

I disagree with the TSA for a lot of things, including some of their search practices, but checking everyone with an invisible scanner isn't one of them.

Assuming they weren't an FBI/CIA patsy to begin with like every single "terrorist" incident since 9/11

The only thing I see wrong here is that it took so long. "Several hours"? Unless they actually found something, that's BS. I think for every additional hour after the second that they keep someone, the guy they kept has the right to punch them once in the mouth.
