Oh yes it does.....you are guilty unless you can prove innocence.
This scanner system already has you pegged as a potential terrorist threat, and to prove you are not, then you pass through the scanner...showing you are not concealing any bottles of water or whatever, any weapons, including the clok plastic pistols.
Those who accept this type of search as routine, of no real consequence, has accepted that they are the enemy. Even as a citizen, you have no rights; it has become the completeness of fascism. The citizen being nothing more that a 'cash cow' to the governmental system which tells you it is for your own protection.
If you investigate, even the slightest news stories, the feds all knew the hi-jackers of 9-11; but allowed them on the plane anyhow. Time, Newsweek, et al, reported the history of the terrorists.....so, what's the point here.
In Flint MI the Post Office has installed a 10 inch thick plexiglass window partition separting the customer from the clerks,.... where you get your stamps,... the separation is only deep enough to NOT allow your first knuckle...Want to mail a package... first ring the bell, the clerk opens the door for you to place your pakage, then waits for you to completely shut the door till it locks, and only then will the clerk open the door on her side to retrive the package.
The scan, last I heard was voluntary.

Jesus Christ, it's an airport. I've been to bars where they frisk people for weapons. Why do you and CPK69 see this as some affront to your civil rights? It's not that big of a deal. I agree with you that some security measures are seemingly ridiculous. I visit a friend of mine in a minimum security prison often. Everytime I go, I get frisked and occassionally I get an ionic scanner waved over me. I don't mind the frisking, but I have serious doubts about those damn ionic scanners, they are known to give false positives. I've seen old ladies going to visit their granddaughters get pulled to the side when that damn thing beeped. I luckily know better; I wash my hands before I get there, don't wear any aftershave, and I don't handle money prior to going in. I hate it, but I understand that it is a prison. I know that I either abide by the rules, or I don't see my friend. Likewise, I know that flying is not a right. If I want to travel on an airline; I submit to the rules, or I don't fly. It's that damn simple. If it bothers y'all that much, go live in a bunker.
