As found on ArsTechnica.com (re-posted without permission): "by Jim Harper" wrote: A year ago this coming Sunday, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ordered the Transportation Security Administration to do a notice-and-comment rulemaking on its use of Advanced Imaging Technology (aka “body-scanners†or “strip-search machinesâ€) for primary screening at airports. (The alternative for those who refuse such treatment: a prison-style pat-down.) It was a very important ruling, for reasons I discussed in a post back then. The TSA was supposed to publish its policy in the Federal Register, take comments from the public, and issue a final ruling that responds to public input. The link can be found here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/require-transportation-security-administration-follow-law/tffCTwDd?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl Please sign this if you value your freedom to travel or believe the TSA should follow the law.

As much as I take issue with the mere existence of the TSA, not just the way they operate, I think this belongs in the Politics forum. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

I was hoping to get a larger audience with the people who prefer not to speak their political opinions, such as the posters here in Cafe. I'm not even looking for a commentary on my post - I'm looking for a call to action for those that believe this is an issue. I'd rather not see in in Politics where it will get buried and argued to death. |

It's a shame that only American citizens sign this as it affects ALL travellers into & around the US. |

I was able to sign just a few minutes ago. Seems to be back up and getting signed at the rate of several a minute. |
