Rising Hegemon
Revealing full-body scans and genital-touching pat-downs are poised to become a regular fixture of airline travel in the U.S., and people are hopping mad about it...
...A surprising effect of the scans may eventually be a decline in air travel, according to an online Reuters poll. Reuters' readers were asked whether or not they would change their travel plans to avoid the invasive scans and pat-downs, and a whopping 96 percent (65,708 of 68,513) have thus far said yes.
Those numbers could be skewed because one of the plethora of online opponents to the new scanning procedures may have asked readers to go to the site and vote.
On-line polls biased?! Unheard of!

I'm thinking I'll skip the usual family trip to see family this year and drive somewhere nearby instead. It was stupid when TSA manually scanned my daughter with a wand when she was one and it has only increased in stupidity. Osama Bin Laden must just be laughing his ass off at us.
Yes, indeedy. The only job worth having in this crappy economy is airport security.
Stupidity + paranoia + megalomania = fun and games.
ben franklin's slippery slope. "those who can give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
