Scanners and Gropings Spreading to Buses and Subways?

Submitted by Kawika Young on Fri, 12/03/2010 - 21:31

Soon random searches will be made as people drive into Tampa Airport, says Judge Andrew Napolitano. He states that the government wants to bring the airports' pornographic scanners and gropings to bus and subway stations. Geraldo Rivera points out that the TSA has never caught a single terrorist.

The ostensible reason for the now widespread scanners and pat-downs is the underwear/Christmas bomber. The bomber's father had warned U.S. security about him way before his son boarded that Amsterdam to Detroit flight on Christmas Day 2009. He was not only allowed to fly from Holland to Detroit, according to witnesses, but he was given a special escort to board the flight without a passport! During the flight, other passengers saw videos being shot. Some say they were of the underwear bomber, other passengers were not clear. It is strongly suspected that the U.S. government wanted the bomber to take the flight and made sure he got on the plane. Soon thereafter, because of this "terrorism incident," many more body scanners were installed in airports. A key beneficiary? Michael Chertoff, former head of Homeland Security, the umbrella organization for the TSA. Coincidence? You decide. It has since come to light that lobbyists spent millions to get the U.S. government to buy the scanners. Chertoff, who stepped down as head of Homeland Security and the TSA on January 21, 2009, is benefiting financially from them because his security consulting company has one of the scanner manufacturers, Rapiscan, as a client. Rapiscan is the major supplier of body scanners at airports.


Kurt and Lori Haskell, the couple who saw the underwear bomber flout airline rules and board their plane without a passport, are fighting what they say are the government's lies to the American people about the underwear bomber.

The American people show that they are for the most part swallowing the government and company explanations about body scanners hook, line and sinker (the x-rays are not harmful, the image doesn't show much detail, your face is not seen, your nude image is not stored, the person looking at your image doesn't know who you are, etc., etc.). This goes to show that Americans don't reserve their faith just for religion. The government, big companies and scientific spokespersons get generous amounts of it too.
