Your Constitutional Rights and the TSA

See a video of the TSA strip searching a little boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KdIa7KNkdQ Why filming law enforcement must be a protected right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mznFboXsweQ Is it illegal to film police? You decide TSA Cheif, John Pistole's interview with USA today. Right now everyone is going through the x-ray machine. Those that trigger the x-ray may be asked to submit to a backscatter scan. You do not have to submit to this scan. You can opt out, by stating "I Opt Out" The TSA will then perform a full body pat down which includes feeling up the inner thigh almost up to the genital area. To see a TSA patdown demonstration click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td37495sIkY&feature=related However once all the airports are equipped with the new Backscatter scanners everyone may be required to choose either the scan or the patdown. The TSA claims that the images will never be stored and why would they lie. LOL A response from http://www.youtube.com/C0nc0rdance about the health risks of the Backscatter images "It's a very tiny dose, but adds to your total dose. The problem is that it hasn't been well-studied on humans. There could be high risk behaviors we haven't yet discovered. This is the best document I found in a casual search. http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/backscatter.htm "a person undergoing a backscatter scan receives approximately 0.005 millirems (mrem, a unit of absorbed radiation). American Science and Engineering, Inc., actually puts that number slightly higher, in the area of .009 mrem. According to U.S. regulatory agencies, 1 mrem per year is a negligible dose of radiation, and 25 mrem per year from a single source is the upper limit of safe radiation exposure. Using the HPS numbers, it would take 200 backscatter scans in a year to reach a negligible dose -- 1 mrem -- of radiation. You receive 1 mrem from three hours on an airplane, from two days in Denver or from three days in Atlanta. And it would take 5,000 scans in a year to reach the upper limit of safety. A traveler would have to get 100 backscatter scans per week, every week, for a year, in order to be in real danger from the radiation." That's based purely on TSA claims. The actual doses will depend on a lot of factors. Fat people will receive more than thin, for example." Read the constitution http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm Read more about the 4th amendment http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment04/ Good example of how to deal with the TSA respectfully and still hold your ground http://noblasters.com/post/1650102322/my-tsa-encounter
