An interesting subject has been brought to life with the video capture of a man named John Tyner refusing to submit to the invasive and potentially harmful full body scanner, which clearly reveals peoples ‘privates’ and also refusing to submit to the new ‘pat-down’ where agents will use the front of their hands and effectively grope their subjects. He refused to submit to these, and agreed to leave the airport. When he started to leave, a man in a suit mentioned that there would be a civil suit brought against Mr. Tyner where he would be fined $10,000.
In this sense, John reveals that in order to travel anywhere economically, the populace must agree to either an x-ray revealing the privates or to a stranger groping their privates. Either way, freedom has been lost and citizens should have the right to protest.
