National Naked Scanner Opt-Out Day is Wednesday, Nov 24, 2010

• Daily Paul/Michael Nystrom

Save the date, mark the calendar and spread the word.

November 24th is the day ordinary citizens stand up for their rights, stand up for liberty, and protest the federal government's desire to virtually strip us naked or submit to an "enhanced pat down" that touches people's breasts and genitals. You should never have to explain to your children, "Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee, then it's OK."

The goal of National Opt Out Day is to send a message to our lawmakers that we demand change. No naked body scanners, no government-approved groping. We have a right to privacy and buying a plane ticket should not mean that we're guilty until proven innocent. This day is needed because many people do not understand what they consent to when choosing to fly.

Are Airports Just The Beginning of Being X-rayed/Stripped Naked by government, Having Your Private Body Parts Touched, Pat-Downs By Government Employees Most Everywhere You Go? Enough! Americans should boycott airlines; that would get TSA's attention and stockholders of airlines. Not just pilots and flight attendants, ordinary passengers should be provided privacy, not be groped in public.

If Obama has his way, Americans might be X-Ray Scanned not just at airports, it is problematic airport X-ray scans will lead to government scanning Citizens boarding trains, cruse ships, buses, entering sports events and and a large array of buildings. Continued Low Radiation Exposure is Accumulative and believed to cause Cancer.

Recently the Obama government purchased hundreds’ of X-Ray Vans that will be traveling our streets without warrants,  secretly x-raying Americans walking on the street, peering though Citizens’ homes and vehicles, exposing Americans and their families to X-rays. X-ray vans are an affront to privacy, literally allowing government/police to view Citizens naked in their bedrooms. Americans need to ask Obama if independent studies were conducted to determine if Citizens could develop Cancer, if (repeatedly exposed) by police X-rays when in their vehicles and in their homes? Imagine a government agency every night X-raying someone in his or her home. Could many X-rays pose a serious health risk? It is foreseeable some Citizens will install similar to smoke detectors, sensors that will set off an alarm, if their home or vehicle is bombarded with X-rays, keeping records of the level of radiation.

X-Ray Vans can ALSO be positioned to secure perimeters by the military or police to control civil unrest and instances of revolt, to screen and stop Citizens carrying guns, cameras; any item. Why did the government order hundreds X-Ray Vans?

The Nazi used national emergency as a premise to detain, search and question Germans boarding or taking trains they considered a political dissident or morally unworthy: targeted Citizens were intentionally delayed so they would be late or miss work.
