National Opt Out Day to coincide with returning Hajj pilgrims

http://www.examiner.com

Liberty activists are organizing National Opt Out Day for Wednesday, November 24, asking all travelers to opt out of the body scanner and undergo the pat down in full public view, so that others in line can see how invasive it is.

Here’s where it gets interesting.

In addition to the unusually high volume of travel for the Thanksgiving Holiday, some 12,000 American Muslims are expected to be returning from Mecca anywhere between the 20th and 28th. On a bell curve, the bulk of them will be arriving on the 24th.

A perfect Storm.

The increase in support this year from 44% in 2009 is not statistically significant, but is a continuation of the upward trend seen since 2000.

There are vital health ingredients that we need but can’t get enough of like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Iodine. Then, there are the harmful elements pushed upon us by the State, which we should not be getting at all, like fluoride which causes brain disorders, vaccines which cause autism and statins which inhibit healthy cells. Dr. Miller keeps close watch on government-enslaved doctors and the lying propaganda of the pill-pushers.
