I had heard about...I recently was scanned as well. I had heard about the scanners but that was months before I even planned my trip so I hadn't thought about it. <br />Like you my outbound airport didn't have them so didn't encounter them till on the way home. <br />I was not embarrassed since I didn't realize what it was until I had exited the tube. Then I comforted myself that like doctors and nurses it is a body not my body to them. So it was matter of fact. <br />I am not sure what detail they can see. (The example in the airport was white on dark and vague enough that while I was not thrilled I wasn't blushing either.) But even if it were totally clear full color I would rather keep my clothes on and untouched.<br /><br />That said I totally agree with you ever since Sept. 11 things that we have had to do restricts our freedom. It is a battle victory for the terrorists. But The "war" is not over. I mean in that in a larger sense than in where our troops are more in a good vs. evil way. <br />I agree with the Ben Franklin quote. But while I hate the intrusion I can't reason out a solution for this air travel vulnerability that doesn't involve loss of freedom and privacy or GREAT loss of life and secondarily the loss of air travel. So I reason that giving terrorists the opportunity to cause greater fear and kill more people in incidents like those on 9/11 throughout our nation would be loosing huge battles. <br />I hope that I am vigilant in trying to keep my other freedoms.Susan G.

I don't want my daughters subjected to radiation, but I also don't want them patted-down.

Sa...I'm sorry you had to go through that Terri.<br />Sadly, the terrorists are laughing about it. They like the idea that they don't have to put forth more than a couple thousand dollars to wreak havoc and instill terror...they said as much in recent press releases.<br /><br />perhaps we should send TSA to the border.Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-83831209949107864282010-11-23T14:54:02.401-07:002010-11-23T14:54:02.401-07:00My husband had to do that on his last trip out.

Apparently, they're hazardous...<br /><br />Yep, we're more paranoid and probably not gaining anything but fear, anger and frustration.Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.com
