"sometimes the freedom of the people has to be burned on the pyre of the country in order for the light of liberty of glow bright." - samuel adams.

holy shit

The TSA calls the imaging machine a "dick measuring device"

"If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave."

Samuel Adams.

What the hell is a flannel panty liner? Is this something only in colder climates??

Dunno but with the army history I'll wager something butch.

Or when your boyfriend has a mullet...

You should actually research where stories come from. Prison planet is the worst when it comes to this kind of thing, it regularly uses parody or unsourced and unverifiable material that confirms their suspicions. The feminist peace network? The first link on that page is full of ignorant shit about radiation and they seem to think scanners can look inside the body = sub retarded. That story comes from a company that PRODUCES panty liners and is asking people to buy their product and wear them through scanners as a protest! What person writes to their tampon/panty liner company after going through a scanner? I love conspiracy people that aren't sceptical about information that confirms their biases. Normally they'd look at the story and wonder why she made a point about it being flannel and camo coloured to the company that makes them and then giving it a plug by name in the email.
How many women are on their rag at any one time? If you think they're stopping 7% of all travellers or haven't learnt what a tampon or pad looks like IF THEY CAN EVEN SEE IT (not confirmed) you're fucking crazy.

New York Times OK?

...and this is the source of the email: http://blog.gladrags.com/2010/11/24/...ruating-woman/

The NYTimes ran with this story that your thread is about did it? Oh no, thats right they didn't, because it's hearsay from a company pushing a product. You think an unquoted comment in that NYT article in any way confirms this story?? What do his comments cover, do you know? Backscatter or mmwave scanners? With the mmwave scans that were leaked you could barely tell they were humans. Aside from having absolutely no information, you think whether or not they can see panty liners was in any way anything more than the least important part of my criticism?

True story or not, I don't give a shit. The TSA searches are complete horseshit, you are just using obfuscation to ignore the other dozens of cases similar to this going on daily.

Lawsuits coming up..

tough fucking luck, they got them in, you've got to deal with them for life now. no amount of complaining will change it. if you don't like it, blow up a security lineup at the airport. you'll probably kill just as many as if you actually made it onto the plane.

As the shooters here probably know, statistically, it is likely that 25% of the women in any random group will be bleeding at any given time.

If the group is not random and consists of women who spend a lot of time in physical proximity, then the odds are still 25% that someone will be bleeding. But nearly either everyone in the group will be or nearly no one will be.
