The TSA airport scanner

Thank to Fatima!

“The TSA airport scanner” article by Fatima is about the “touchy issue” of the new TSA system. By Wikipedia, I have known that “the TSA scanner, which is a full-body scanner, is a device that creates an image of a person's nude body through their clothing to look for hidden objects without physically removing their clothes or making physical contact”. According to Fatima’s articles, the TSA new security system is not a good idea because nobody wants their private parts touched by other people. Fatima said that the new TSA machine is against her religion because she is a Muslim women and she wants nobody touch her private parts. Moreover, Fatima said the TSA is blaming terrorists for the new scanners but that is wrong. She believed that: “Americans are the ones who should be blamed for this because we are the one who wanted more security. The purpose of terrorists is to terrorize, and they are winning”.

 I do understand that nobody wants someone (who they do not even know) to touch their private parts, or see their full body scan. I think it violates our rights. However, I honestly think that it is fine since it keeps me safe. Safety of the nation is an extremely important priority. So Americans, let us   think about the TSA system clearly and answer my question: “Will you choose to take out the TSA airport security system and risk a bomb?”  I believe nobody wants to be exploding in the middle of his or her flight. However, if you do not want to go through the scanner or get a pat down at airport security, you can just take a train or take a boat.
