"We Won't Fly, National Opt Out Day, Nov 24"

Good thread from earlier today at the "Above Top Secret" Forum re the

above We Won't Fly Opt Out Day, only 2-pages so far, re legal ways

individuals can opt out, boycott/protest the naked body scanners &

sexual pat downs:

Official site:



"Opt Out of the Airport Scanners for Health and Privacy" - We Won't

Fly .com:

Another site with info on the intensity of the scanners' radiation &

cancerous effects from it:



"TSA: Show Us Your Body Or We’ll Feel You Up –The truth behind the

airport full-body scanners":

http://bodyscannertruth.com/?p=701



And I just saw a tweet that the scanners have Windows OS, USB, etc.

supposedly so the images can be shared(?)

In the ATS thread, some whined re airport/airline jobs being lost if

people boycott flying due to the scanners/pat downs. (I don't know

who these "jobs mean everything" people are, but they always show up

in every controversial issue. All I can guess is they are faithless

people.)



I say baloney re "saving the jobs." If the person or company you work

for has allowed itself to become part of the problem, then by

continuing to work for them, you are also the problem. So get a

different job. (If you're a Christian, the Lord will help you find

one!)



What is more important? Personal integrity or a lousy job? A chronic

sacrificing of personal integrity either turns people into soul-less

zombies, or if your conscience stays intact, it will make you very

miserable until you pay attention to it & quit the job.



Today's scripture text message perfectly applies...

Another person wisely commented in the same ATS thread:

(...)

...if people continue to fly commercial, a lot more will be lost than

just the jobs of airline/airport workers...



...i posted the following analogy yesterday on a similar thread... it

would be insane to continue to be a patron of a cafe that serves lousy

food and encourages employees to be as obnoxious as they please... the

intelligent way to combat that type of establishment is to stop

spending your money there...



...heres another one... if a nationwide grocery chain was selling food

contaminated with pesticides that had been proven to cause cancer, it

would be insane to continue spending your money there - and - your

health and the health of your loved ones would take precedence over

whether or not employees of that grocery lost their jobs...



...heres one more... unless you're into agressive sexual advances from

strangers, its insane to continue to be a patron of an establishment

that allows its employees to touch your body where ever they want to...



...too many want to pretend they have no choice but to fly commercial

and tolerate nazi tactics and thats just pure dee bs... they make that

choice and have been making it for 9yrs...



...in the interim, our youngsters are being programmed to accept this

bizarre reality that says "do not think - you have no rights - you

have no choices - do as you're told, you stupid cow"...



...i hope the "no fly day" protest encourages people to stop flying

commerical until these nazi tactics cease to exist... to those who

refuse to stop flying commercial, dont whine about how unfair tsa's

tactics are - you are part of the problem...

Tee-shirts are available with the official TSA Groping Guidelines,

lol, people think of everything, don't they? Well, it would be one

way to educate the bank teller or check-out girl at your local gas

station...





I saw an official TSA training video the other day at youtube showing

how they are to implement the above instructions, so it's all true.



What I didn't realize is that you can legally opt out of the naked

body scanners, but then you are "required" to have the pat down,

though you can ask them to do it in a private room.



Also, the word is, if you declare your right to opt out, they likely

will holler & scream out loud about it in an attempt to humiliate,

intimidate, & manipulate you to cave in & just go through the

scanner. So buck it up in advance & be prepared for that.



~~~~~~~~~~



Funny play on words here... but Whew! The war is heating up... The

idea is to get everybody to declare their scanner opt out right which

will then require time-consuming pat downs, thereby bogging down the

entire TSA operation -- & maybe the airlines, too...



A battle of the wills has begun...

I like this "Travel with Dignity" slogan...

Thankfully, I've never had to fly much... Only 4 times, 1977, 1990,

1998, 2002...

--Between excruciating ear-popping pain (1977 over the Rockies),

--to terrifying turbulence (1990 small plane to the Keys),

--to SLAM! BAM! as plane crashes on Atlanta runway, then SCREeeeching

tires until it felt like the plane hit a brick wall in order to stop

itself (1977),

--to drying, suffocating non-air & confinement in those miserable

seats for 12-hours straight (time zone changes, 1998 to California),

--to the hassles of parking, luggage, & the natural chaos of airports

in general,

--I say, NO THANK YOU. Commercial Flying is definitely NOT glamorous

in any way, shape, or form.



Give me THE HIGHWAY (vs. The Skyway) any day... Travel at your own

pace, take the scenic routes, stretch, sleep, eat where, when, &

whatever you want... but then we were raised that way with numerous

long & short camping road trips all over the place as kids, so it's in

my blood...



This photo reminds me of North Georgia or Tennessee...





No original photos so imagine the 1950's & 1960's, something like

this... Red/white station wagon & a red/white travel trailer, plus

tents & camping gear (all 8 kids didn't fit in the trailer, lol, so

some slept in the car or tent)...





One station wagon we had was pretty much just like that one above...





I don't remember if the trailer had 2 or 4 tires, but I do remember

the heart-stopping POW! when riding in the trailer & a tire would blow

out from the road heat... :)





Ours did have this same type of wood interior, but there was a bunk

compartment at the top/front...





Those last 2 pics are from this site: 2010 article of a Canadian

family who bought a 1962 Shasta travel trailer from a guy in Vermont

for $2,000 & refurbished it for $6,000... They added the 1950's black/

white "Winn-Dixie" floor tiles:

All the sudden I have a craving for salty boiled peanuts (the folks

would cook up a huge pot of them on the trailer stove)...





... And I feel a bad case of cabin fever coming on & want to hit the

road again...
