Let me ask this another way......what is America known for??? Your thoughts, ideas, definitions etc.......be honest......
Sure - Im all for " land of the free -home of the brave " but I fly to get to work on time. ( 82,800 miles this year - thats actual flying miles not f flyer or purchased miles )- I dont think most here travel enough to give a really relevant answere to what the additional layers of security Homeland Security/TSA are using and will be using. Sitting in front of your TV/computer and tethered to a 10 mile leash will give you a very myopic perception of what it takes to diligently " eyeball" travelers and people crossing our borders. So -I say scan away- |

What is the percentage of the population that travels....regularly, frequently.....not just the yearly vacation.......
and I am not saying that I dont believe in bad people....but do we honestly think we can catch them and be safer????
I say go ahead and scan,,,but something in our soul is removed/put to sleep when 'other' things/people take over our instincts,rationality etc.......

The originial article title " New ID Scanners at Borders Raise Privacy Alarm "--The devices, called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) machines, allow officials to read remotely any passports, pass cards, and driver's licenses that contain special chips with personal information----
I dont hear anyone complaining about having your EZ PASS personal info scanned as you pass though the toll booth- |

Not to mention that each EZPAss Tag has a GOS locator chip in it. So, if you know a Tag's RFID frequency, it can be tracked wherever it goes. |
