Seems like another case of sexual assault against a minor.
It wouldn't surprise me if the victim needed counseling. TSA should have to pay for it.
Interesting, Spiff. If minor child was forced through WBI without permission of parent or other adult with the authorization to allow this, could it be looked on as sexual assault?
Well, gee, given the choice, wouldn't you rather be severely traumatized by trained security officers than risk being blown up by professional terrorists?

I certainly think so.
Some stranger was able to peek under her clothes without her consent. Not only is that pretty sick, it seems to meet the definition of a sex crime. People seem to have to register as a sex offender for similar crimes...

I've noticed a shift in the tone of comments there. It used to be more focussed on the rights of consumers of all types. Now it leans more towards the idea that you have to federlaize to professionalize.
Folks there will fight against reciept checkers (as they should), but have no problem quoting the DHS/TSA party line.

COCKEYSVILLE, Md. - The TSA calls them another weapon in the fight against terrorism. Advanced Imaging Technology, or body scans, are at 41 airports, including BWI.
The machines are meant to detect a wide range of threats. But even children could be picked by an agent to move through one, which doesn't sit well with Michelle Nemphos of Cockeysville.
Her 12-year-old daughter, whom she did not want to appear on camera, was at Tampa International Airport on vacation with a family friend when a TSA officer chose her.
"It's an image of a nude child that they're seeing. This is child pornography whether people want to believe this or not. How is this any different," said Nemphos. ...
No one really cares if you never fly again. These inspections are a sign of the times. If we don't take aggresive measures, terrorists will certainly kill you, your mother, and your brother without regard to your or anyone else's belief system. Take away scanning kids and guess where they'll strike. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. This is not play. This is real life drama with dire consequences. Get over it and adapt.
This guy should probably never leave his house again. And probably shield his house in lead. Baaaaaa!!!!!!!!
and more folks need to know their rights and simply opt out
