TSA Scanners and Pat-Downs OK? Prove it!!
If our president and government want us to undergo these scans and invasive pat downs, then they need to show us that they are just as willing to subject themselves and their families (including their children) to these same treatments.
Please see the Petition text and sign if you are so inclined. Thanks.
President Obama, First Lady, and family:
We ask that you show your support for the new TSA full body scanners and invasive pat-down procedures in the following ways, thereby proving to the American public that you thoroughly agree that they are necessary and do not impede our rights to privacy as Americans.
First, we ask that you, your wife, and daughters, all submit to the full body scanners being used by the TSA. Then, we would further ask that you ALL view the naked photo images captured by the TSA scanners and consider how you would feel if those images were to be compromised in some way. The security of these images is only as reliable as the integrity of the TSA agent responsible for their storage.
Next, we ask that you, your wife, and your daughters, all subject yourselves to the new pat-down procedures being used on Americans who are not comfortable going through the scanners, such as pregnant women, children, etc... We feel it is important for you to watch as your daughters are subjected to invasive and degrading pat-downs so that you can see and feel what Americans across the country are seeing and feeling. Parents are forced to subject their children to legal molestation with no recourse.
Now, please Mr. President; we ask that you take these requests very, VERY seriously. Is this really how you want Americans to feel? Do you want people to feel physically violated? Would you want the responsibility of knowing that images of your naked children were leaked by a disturbed TSA agent? Do you really want people to see YOU naked?
This is what Americans are forced to do. They are paying to travel on an airplane to see friends and family, and as part of that they are paying to be physically violated, or for their children to be physically violated. There were even reports that parents were being encouraged to tell their children that it is a game!!! Is that the message you want to send to children? Molestation is okay so long as someone tells them its a game?
Please reconsider these practices, as they violate to the very core of humanity's physical being. There has to be a better way without reaching into someone's pants, or grabbing their breasts. I hope that you are able to see the real message here and that you act quickly to stop these practices.
We sincerely thank you for your time.
