I went through the puffer yesterday in SFO (not knowing that these existed). It was obnoxious to say the least. I do not understand why we as citizens are continually hassled as we try and lead our ordinary lives.

Moreover, I don't understand why it is that we, as citizens, are not saying NO?! Turns out that the TSA group in SFO is actually NOT TSA - they were standing around, talking, chatting, etc. while I was going through this - nobody would gather my belongings, nobody looked at the machine, the guard (or whatever they are called) could not tell me what was actually in the machine in terms of "is it radiation like an X-ray?" etc.

BTW - you HAD to take off your shoes an belts in SFO yesterday (which I did). I was not ssss or anything else on my ticket.

This morning I called both of my senators as well as the Seattle Times to ask them to look into this. More and more rights being eroded every day imo. (No, I'm not "Spiffing" here - just an observation ).
