How can TSA administrative regs — composed with delegated Congressional legislative power – overwrite an explicit Congressional prohibition of naked child imaging: a legislative house divided against itself? Said prohibition passed First Amendment muster due to the harm done the imaged child. Viewing of (especially opposite-sex*) naked child images by either TSA or non-airport security personnel constitute the same legal offense.
Without TSA regs for legal cover (the government made me do it) male TSA agents (one viewer per scanner) viewing the kind of naked images of adult females which scanners transmit could be prosecuted under the same federal and/or state laws that would make such viewing illegal at any high school or skating rink entrance.
Ditto — most especially! — for TSA males physically “meeting the resistance” of female genitalia or brushing hands over their private (all!) areas, every bit as much as at any department store entrance. How can mere airport regs authorize — nay, mandate! — male stranger upon female stranger attractive part-touching just because, for example, TSA may short handed on female employees (many small airports?) — instead of preventing boarding of same (crackpot but not criminal)?
An artist’s rendering of what a child’s naked scan image would look like could not be shown legally on TV — yet real female children are being viewed by male TSA viewers all over our landscape, all day and all night, with incalculable damage to many. Stop this right now!
How does El Al, the Israeli airline, manage to deter terrorism without scanning and groping? It’s called profiling, stupid! And that doesn’t mean just young Muslim men. People up to no good are spotted with observation and conversation by highly trained and well paid security professionals. Our TSA employees would not qualify to sweep the floor in an Israeli airport. Instead of paying gazillions of dollars on invasive technology, why not train some of our bright young college grads who can’t get jobs because of the economy, to do this highly specialized work. Or even their middle aged parents who have lost well paid management jobs? Instead, we are depending on machines and people who probably wouldn’t be accepted in the armed forces to do a
task that is impossible for them to do. And we are given a fool’s choice: loss of safety or loss of civil rights. The new ending for the Pledge of Allegiance will soon be “…and without liberty or dignity for all.”
