@The Lab: Ü müün "Applü", rüght?

I like the Eagle Creek Pack-It Folders. I still have to iron my business shirts, but it does keep them from sliding around in the suitcase. I use this one for button down shirts and boxers and the next smaller size for undershirts and socks (I layer them across the top).

Hmm. 4G symbol, HTC Sense like clock showing, and battery in the yellow. I guess that's an Evo. Mainly it was the battery in the yellow that gave it away.

@ament001: I do think that when more people opt out and complain to the airlines, the airlines listen and instruct their lobbyists to work on it. But even if it doesn't, I still won't be going through the AIT. If I no longer have the choice to opt out, I'll start looking for another job that doesn't require me to…

@ament001: Personally, I opt out because of the radiation risks. Well known researchers have said the AIT scanners deposit radiation into the outer layers of the skin so, while it might be a small amount, it is more concentrated in one area. Further, radiation exposure is cumulative. I don't trust the government…

@C141Clay: Even just the threat of an en masse exercising of rights was enough to make the TSA turn off the Nude-O-Scopes today. Seems pretty effective to me.

Would the Nude-O-Scopes catch this lady?

@ament001: From [www.conservativeedge.com]

@ament001: The AIT scanners would not have detected the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber, nor would they detect a bomb inside a body cavity. They provide no benefit, except for former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who is in bed financially with Rapiscan.

@ament001: So your failure to plan appropriately and get to the airport with enough time to spare should somehow convince me to accept an unknown amount of radiation into my body? Radiation that researchers at Johns Hopkins have said is dangerous? Wow, way to put my safety behind your convenience.

@Sjenkins7000: Where's the probable cause?

@ament001: It is my right to opt out of the AIT scanner. Who are you to tell me I can't exercise my rights?

@Sjenkins7000: The point is that the TSA first told us the machines were incapable of storing images. Then, after images were leaked from similar machines, they changed their story. "Oh, we meant they're disabled! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

@diesel828: Right. The TSA decided not to employ the use of the AIT scanners today (so much for safety!), so very few people had an opportunity to opt out.

@Zanzan42: Exactly this. Further, once you get to a certain point of the process, they will not let you leave until you have completed the screening, even if you decide you're not going to fly. This is a forcible search.

@Sjenkins7000: No one has claimed that the right not to be unreasonably searched is a human right. It is, however, a right specifically granted by the 4th Amendment. Try again.

@Sjenkins7000: Doesn't look too disabled to me. 100 of 35,000 images were leaked. And these were not cell phone pics, they are images from the machine. You know, the machine that has image saving "disabled."

@RedRaider: Travel is always unpredictable, though. Your flight might be delayed/canceled. Weather might have diverted your plane somewhere else, etc.

@Blackti3: You imply that what we currently have with the TSA and, by association, the Nude-O-Scopes is effective screening procedures. Yet the manufacturers of the Backscatter and the Millimeter Wave full body scanners assert that their devices would not have detected the underwear bomber's explosives.

@Sjenkins7000: The TSA also told us that there was no way that images could be captured from the Nude-O-Scopes, either. [gizmodo.com]
