A cool idea. Like the figleaf part.

Read the 4th amendment perverts

45 bucks is a touch steep, but I might shell out for those.

Caradoc

45 bucks to guarantee a groping when the underwear shows up on the NoS?

I'll pass, thanks.

LuvAirFrance

The boxers aren't $45, they are $24. And who's gonna look at your chest, anyway?

Get your 4th Amendment underwear today.

I don't get the "privacy" undies. They'll show up on the NoS and they you get groped too, what's the point?

UALpremier

That's what I thought, except they could come in handy at LHR, where one can't opt out.

So did many others. Many escaped notice while a larger war raged around them. Suffering injustice in silence does grease one's way through life.

One thing you will know. Whatever our world becomes. You played your part.

Will you tell you grandchildren?

Caradoc

How much do you have invested in the underwear that you'd attack someone for balking at paying $45 for something that will have utterly no effect whatsoever on the dolt behind the scanner?

Write your congressman.

(I have.)

Write your senator.

(I have.)

Refuse to fly until the TSA stops their silly nonsense.

(I have.)

Tell everyone you know about the rampant stupidity and injustice that the TSA and DHS are wreaking on what used to be a free country before our elected leaders borrowed a page from Goering and invoked "unpatriotic" as the equivalent to "standing up for one's rights."

(I have.)

But paying $45 for stupid underwear that only the undertrained and overpaid nude-o-scope operator is going to see and completely ignore? That's profiteering in the same vein as Chertoff's - and may actually have a higher profit margin.

Check.

Check.

Mostly. I refuse to let them influence my vacation travel to remote places they don't even have the wits to dream about.

Check

Yeah, but it costs .000001% of my typical vacation and provided .000001% of amusement. YMMV.
