US considers ending invasive airport security checks

Don't accept what Pistole is saying. He doesn't know when or what will change only that they are reviewing it.
Do not give away your greatest opportunity to get rid of this invasive garbage all together.
Look what the cops say to the TSA about Matt Kernan.
He didn't have to get searched to come into the country.
Homeland Security's TSA has just been made a very expensive joke!
As well as a violation of your civil rights!
If you subject yourself to it, remember demand they change their gloves.


He urged travellers not to heed calls for a boycott tomorrow of the new Advanced Imaging Technology machines, which have so far been introduced at about 20 per cent of the country's 2,100 airport security lanes, arguing it would cause unnecessary disruption for other travellers.

The day before the annual Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday traditionally sees the highest volume of passengers in a single day, while 24 million people are expected to fly over the extended holiday period.

Mr Pistole however refused to indicate what changes would be made and when. He reminded Americans that the new measures had been introduced in response to the failed attack on a passenger jet bound for Detroit by the "underwear bomber" last Christmas Day.

'We walk over to the staff entrance and he scans his badge to let me through. We walk down the long hallway that led back to the baggage claim area. We skip the escalators and moving walkways.'
He was then waved away by annoyed officers and said: 'In order to enter the US, I was never touched, I was never “Backscatted,” and I was never metal detected.

'In the end, it took 2.5 hours, but I proved that it is possible. I’m looking forward to my next flight on Wednesday.'
