The TSA should be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passenger's’ clothing in search of dangerous items. It should be permitted in order to secure the passenger’s flight.

The TSA should be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passenger's’ clothing in search of dangerous items because in some cases safety can be more important than rights. Sometimes, people have to give up their rights in order to keep themselves safe.

TSA has not caught a single terrorist, since they started. “Shoe bomber” and “underwear bomber” are two famous terrorists that were not stopped by the TSA.

They are scanning many people and less that 1% of the people they scan are innocent and aren't carrying any danger. And the people that do bring dangerous things to the flight, most of the time there items do not get caught. The TSA scanners are unpatriotic and very inefficient.

Therefore, The TSA is not violating the 4th amendment, it is only keeping passengers safe during their flight.

The TSA should be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passenger's’ clothing in search of dangerous items because security is a major unit when in airport security. TSA makes sure that no harmful items are brought onto the plane or in a carry bag. This is for the safety of all passengers and crew. TSA should have the right to look for items in passengers going on a airline.

This is the same argument as the first one, that Hiba has already posted.

I will repeat again because you said this already but if they are disobeying rights of everyone, the scanners should at least be efficient and catch the dangerous items, which they dont

The TSA uses this advanced technology to search all people for weapons, bombs, poisons, or anything that harms the population.

Many people argue that this is going against the 4th amendment, but sometimes you have to give up some of your rights in order to keep you safe.

These checks also ensure you a easier and safer travel

TSA shouldn’t be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passenger's' clothing in search of dangerous items because it violates the 4th Amendment. The TSA are breaking multiple amendments with TSA scanning and disobeying the rights of people because it’s “safer”, when all the scanners do is a little protection and a lot of unpatriotism.

Some people have been severely harassed when they have requested or been asked for a pat down. They are allowed to have rules but as long as they don’t disobey the amendments as there are amendments for the protection of being searched for no reason with no proof and there is also rights for being able to bear arms for your own protection. They are allowed to have rules but as long as they don’t disobey the amendments as there are amendments for the protection of being searched for no reason with no proof and there is also rights for being able to bear arms for your own protection. People are getting harassed and hurt and most of the time the person they are harassing or hurting. https://www.rt.com/usa/tsa-rape-room-wife-179/

Another reason why TSA searches should not be allowed is because it increases the risk of cancer. TSA is saying that the body scanners are safe, but experts say it has health risks. Check out this link: http://www.naturalnews.com/053628TSAbodyscannersradiation.html

There was a transgender person who went through the scanners and was flagged as anomaly. They pulled her aside and subjected her to a 40 minute pat-down causing her to miss her flight. And she didn't have anything dangerous or anything not allowed on her. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/transgender-woman-humiliated-when-tsas-scan-flags-anomaly us5601c4b7e4b08820d91a9978

Even though around the world people have been harassed, this is also security doing their job of protecting their country or state from an object that has been prohibited to being brought into their country. TSA is doing their jobs, protecting their country and civilians in that state or country.

There was a TSA officer that was shot in LAX airport. The officers are the one’s who are supposed to protect the passengers. They can’t even protect themselves. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/lax-shooting-kills-tsa-officer-wounds-others/

This is not the the officers fault, because anyone can be shot at anytime. Most of the times at a crime scene the criminals usually aim towards the security first to get them out of the way.

Yes, it is the fault of the TSA because they couldn't detect the gun while it was going through screening. Furthermore, when you have a job like a TSA officer, you should always be prepared for a situation like this. You should also wear body protection.

TSA scanners are not only inefficient and unable to pick up most of the weapons and dangerous items while putting passengers at a discomfort at taking their rights. But they are also being severely harassed and discriminated just because of their appearance, religion, race, and many more. The scanners are also a health risk to people and aren't officially approved by the government to disobey the fourth amendment. (Closing statement)

TSA screeners missed about 75% of explosives in Los Angeles International Airport. This was only in 2008, so not long ago. PRIVATE screeners at the San Francisco Airport detected 80% of explosives. Private screeners are doing a better job than the TSA. Website: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-10-17-insidescreeners N.htm

http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/2015/12/23/tsa-can-now-make-you-go-through-body-scanner/77802418/ . There used to be a option that anyone who wanted to opt out of doing TSA scanner searches, the TSA tried to follow the amendments a bit but they now can mandate certain passengers to go through the scanners. This not only violates the fourth amendment even more but it also disobeys laws that say it is illegal to do any stops, searches, or removals just because of a person's race, nationality, sex, religion, or any other physical traits.

And also the TSA scanning has not been approved by the government. In fact they may have had some secret agreement as some government officials are able to bypass the security. So if the government said that they didn’t approve scanning everyone at the airport, the TSA offered to bypass the government officials searching.
