We should be as concerned about Islamic rights as they were about ours on 9/11. Stay in the middle east and relish their justice. It is not necessary for you to be in this country. Being politicially correct has gotten us into the mess we are in. Stop listening to those that hide behind political correctness including our President, a Muslim supporter.

What a lying POS Awad is.

Every jihadist–whether they've chosen, as adults, to continue believing what no rational adult could possibly believe (the Qur'an) or they've really gone off the deep end and 'reverted'–is doing their very best to carry out Islam's 'divinely' mandated warfare against the filthy kuffar. And he knows it.

Good, let them refuse to go through. Let them be like me. If they don't want to go through the scanners, they don't fly, ever.

That's why I don't intend to ever fly again. However, unlike the Muslim's, my refusal is grounded in something more reasonable. As an ex-radiology tech, I won't go through any radiation machine that the operator hasn't been through a certified radiological school, and understands how it works, and has professional ethics.

Joseph, not just the yearly and lifetime cummulative doses need to be considered, but the fact that the
scanners are open and the area as far as I can see is not shielded. I will never subject myself to a machine where not only are the skills and background of the operator in question, but the machine and radiological (medical equipment) components service and maintenance is managed by federal employees. We all know the limitations of the federal government and it's employees.

I agree. I have been a nurse for 36 years, and would rather see a person nicely dressed than naked at this point.

I'm glad you brought up that point. I wondered about that. I was always careful about how many x-rays my kids had, simply because it adds up over a lifetime.

The health concerns for people who fly a lot because of their jobs, need to be addressed.

I do think a combination of profiling and scanning is going to be necessary.

Since when in this country is one group of people given "special rights" over others?

Silly me.

If the Constitution meant something to those who create the law (instead of proffering lawyers) it would be a moot issue.

NO PERSON should get a free pass regardless of their religion. The rules must apply to everyone!Submit to scanning or find a different way to travel.

The TSA should not allow any exceptions. I think they should be scanning bus and train passengers as well.

The "religious" argument just doesn't make any sense. We aren't talking porn here, it is like an x ray, nothing sexy about it. Think of it as looking at a sculpture of humanity in all different shapes and sizes.

Muslims need to get over themselves, no one is interested in getting their jollies looking at black and white images of people for a living. Especially since they will be looking specifically for weapons and potential bombs.

By the way in my opinion Muslim women should never be given a pass since the latest info is that they may have the bombs implanted in breasts.

I have been a nurse since 1988 and seen people naked every day since then, it is no big deal, just part of the job.
