I wrote to both of my Senators:
Please stop the TSA using backscatter X-rays on large groups of people. We will statistically cause more cancers than terrorist deaths. This is just wrong!

Also stop the invasive patdowns, as my family and many friends will no longer fly until this intrusion is eliminated. Would you subject your wife, children and teenagers to "enhanced patdowns" or naked body scanning?

Terrorists are likely to attack shopping malls, trains, buses and subways instead of planes. The times square incident and the printer cartridge incident shows this to be the case. The underwear bomber was an error in intelligence, not screening. Besides which, all attacks have emanated from OUTSIDE the US. Send the body scanners overseas where they MIGHT help.

Aggressive TSA screenings will only breed contempt for government and may well produce domestic terrorism in opposition to the government.

Your vote depends on this issue.
