3 Ways to Resist
But, here are three ways to resist:
1. Don’t fly and tell your airline that you won’t.
Actually, there is a website with that very suggestion. Call the place where you were going and tell them why you are not coming.
2. Opt out of the virtual strip search machine.
And, I would do that by telling the TSA agent (where others can hear), “I do not believe you should have naked picture of me in order to fly — I opt out.” Yes, you will have your genitals handled by a stranger, but I would complain about that as well — with kindness since they are doing their job.
Now, I recognize that TSA Administrator John Pistole has said (of a forthcoming protest called “opt out day“): “On the eve of a major national holiday and less than one year after al Qaida’s failed attack last Christmas Day, it is irresponsible for a group to suggest travelers opt out of the very screening that could prevent an attack using non-metallic explosives.” (via) But, I do not think that people exercising their right to not be photographed naked is a threat to national security.
3. Call your Senator today.
You can find a list of those on the committee here. I have already contacted my Senators and one on the committee that is meeting right now.
