My argument, I guess I should clarify, is devils advocate. You and others want the scannings banned because they could eventually maybe in some people cause health issues. But theres so many things that we do in our every day lives that can cause health problems but no one gives two shits about, but suddenly now that scanning could eventually cause health problems somewhere down the road for people who fly frequently THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Whats the difference? Theres a link between Cell phones and tumors, do you still use them? Fast Food could lead to obesity and heart issues and all sorts of shit do you still partake in a meal at Mcdonalds every once in a while? Cigarettes has their shitloads of health problems, do you turn into a bitch when your friend lights up?
Whats the difference?
The difference is- I choose the cigarette/cellphone/fast food. The government isn't forcing them on me.
(Actually, I don't smoke, cause I already gotta worry about skin and breast cancer x.x)
Even though i totally disagree with this invasion of privacy (the scanners and the patdowns) the govt is NOT forcing you to fly.
