You mean the full body scanners that the TSA is under attack for?

There's a lot of controversy going on with those now.  It wasn't that big a deal for me when I went traveling back in the late spring, but that was before learning a number of things about the scanners, the health risks they represent (to both the people being scanned and the people operating the scanners), the ethical and moral issues they pose (the TSA denies it but others claim that they are saving everyone's naked pictures on a database - anyone else think that just a little bit creepy, especially with children?), and the strongarming that the TSA engages in to frighten people into going through with it (getting what amounts to a fondling that they call a "patdown" if you refuse to go through the scanner).

If you mean new regulations they're putting in to replace said scanners, then I have no idea about those.

Nope, I almost never travel... much less fly.

I'm assuming my sister will tell me all about it when she flies in to see me next year either in January/February or July/August.

I find the uproar hilarious though.

I'm waiting for state-sponsored sexual assault to hit our shores, too. Except I think our rules are "no full body scanner, no fly", probably followed up with "you're clearly a terrorist, let's detain you for a fortnight or so without charge and then put you under house arrest".

The terrorists won while no one was looking, really.

In the meantime, much though I love flying, it is now my last choice of transport, somewhere behind horse-drawn carriage and shanks' pony.

I'm with TR... whole uproar is hilarious =)

Possibly might be flying to Ohio for Christmas, but we'll see.
