Individual airports can decide to get their own security.

At the heart of the controversy over "body scanners" is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images.

At the San Diego International Airport yesterday, about one-fifth of the travelers were selected for sexual assault by transportation security agents. Though TSA’s website did not list SAN as one of the airports employing the carcinogenic naked scan or a full body rub down, one man was told his refusal to submit would result in a civil law suit and a $10,000 fine. Under 49 CFR Sec.s 1540.105 and 1540.107, as summarized in these 2004 TSA Sanction Guidelines, apparently TSA has Congressional support to fine people for refusing to submit to molestation.

Even in the land of the rising sun they know the TSA is all about "hands-on" communication and "feel-good" customer service.

A 57-year-old federal Transportation Security Administration employee has been arrested after a 15-year-old girl came forward claiming the agent had touched her inappropriately when she was 12. The arrest report says man told investigators he planned to make her his "sex slave." In the report, the agent acknowledges that he "groped" the girl, although the girl's version is more graphic.
