TSA -- FULL BODY SEARCH

Hi Forum,

Okay, I'll go first. While I side with the folks who see a "slippery slope" ever time there is an upward movement in Government intrusion, I still live in reality about the actual threats to our Nation. We need to be open to those who have a tough job to do and not make it any harder. What i am less sympathetic to is the seeming dishonesty about the health impact of the full scanner.

The idea that we could put children and the elderly through this is beyond the pale in my book. We need to get the straight scoop on this device or accept without complaint that this unit will be used for those who fit a high risk profile. Complaints about profiling cave when compared to the health risks here. That's my view.

Hi Forum,

How do Arkansans feel about this issue of full body searches at the airports? Has this begun yet at Little Rock?

Here is an article on the debate about its safety.
