You already keep a file of my fingerprints, now you want a picture of me buck naked?

Dear United States government, if strangers are going to view an image of my naked body, I'd like:
a) monetary compensation (ten U.S. grand per scan)
b) an Internet following
c) a pr0n star name, such as London Mariott or Astoria Madrid.

Since that's not happening, take away your useless, intrusive, expensive, radiation machine. I know Asians usually don't get skin cancer, but I still don't want an unlicensed operator bombarding concentrated radiation on my skin, kthxbai.

The other "option" is no less sleazy and demeaning. You say "enhanced pat-down"; I say sexual assault. Add the fact that children under 12 are not exempt from either option, I call child pornography and molestation.

Preschoolers know you don't hug/touch a friend who doesn't want to be hugged/touched. Why is genitalia groping suddenly okay when done by a government agent?

TSA workers can and do fondle and squeeze breasts, vagina, cock and balls because they want to bully, humiliate and terrorize travelers into going for the Dick Measuring Device Insta-Pr0n X-ray instead. Think about the added humiliation and pain for transgender people, people with prosthetics, breast cancer survivors and those who were sexually assaulted in the past.

After 9/11,the government has been chipping away at our freedom and basic rights more and more. Instead of adopting security measures that have been proven effective elsewhere (Israel, anyone?), we have machines that are ineffectual in detecting anything implanted under the skin or inserted in a body cavity.

At this rate, next travelers would be advised to bring single-sachet lubes and bend over for a cavity search.

No love,
