Body Scanners

...the program is quickly expanding
Follow up on: touch-or-no-touch

10 airports install body scanners: source
Devices can peer under passengers' clothes


"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently started using body scans on randomly chosen passengers in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Denver, Albuquerque and at New York's Kennedy airport."

"Airports in Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas and Miami will be added this month. Reagan National Airport in Washington starts using a body scanner today. A total of 38 machines will be in use within weeks."

"Schear said the scanners could eventually replace metal detectors at the nation's 2,000 airport checkpoints and the pat-downs done on passengers who need extra screening. "We're just scratching the surface of what we can do with whole-body imaging," Schear said."

"The TSA effort could encourage scanners' use in rail stations, arenas and office buildings, the American Civil Liberties Union said. "This may well set a precedent that others will follow," said Barry Steinhardt, head of the ACLU technology project."

"Steinhardt of the ACLU said passengers would be alarmed if they saw the image of their body. "It all seems very clinical and non-threatening — you go through this portal and don't have any idea what's at the other end," he said."

"Passengers scanned in Baltimore said they did not know what the scanner did and were not told why they were directed into the booth."

"Passengers can decline to go through a scanner, but they will face a pat-down."

re: Passengers....did not know...were not told why they were directed into the booth.

There you have it. Clueless sheeple being herded into the micromanaged Big-Brother brave new world of vanishing freedoms...absolutely oblivious all the while. One day the same unthinking minds-numbed-by-the-mass-media sheeple will ignorantly and obediently line up to take the 666, the "mark of the beast". BE NOT OBLIVIOUS! Rom. 10:13

They will never see it coming:
Luke 21:34-35 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
