TSA's new X-ray scanners and new pat down rules

[jordandog]

You know whats funny, after all my complaining earlier in this post... I actually went through that scanner thing last July, and I didn't think twice about it while doing it.... but I still wouldn't want my children going through it or being felt up because I chose not to let them go through it.

lol

There's no scanner yet at the Cleveland airport, so I haven't had to deal with them (yet).  The news sites are just firing people up though, with all the horror stories of the TSA being rude/humiliating the disabled/cancer survivors/children.

animikokala, Cleveland Hopkins does have them and have since July. I don't know about Burke though. There are only working scanners at 2 (out of the their 12) security checkpoints. I just went through one a month ago.

Hmm...I wonder if only certain checkpoints in most of the airports have them now.  I flew from Cleveland->Nashville and back again in October and didn't encounter one of the scanners at either airport.

I don't think it's too much of a bad idea to go as far as they are going now with pat downs and xray scanners but I do have a problem with
is the people that work in security at the airports and other employees have real bad attitude problems and are very rude for no reason
at all what so ever. They should be ashamed of themselves treating and talking to people any kind of ways especialy when people
are paying alot of money to fly. I travel all the time about few times a year at least and I've seen and been talked to any kind of ways
at airports and the bad thing is that you can't say anything about it or they will cause you worse treatment and delay you from your flight
and etc.... ya what is going on with good manners and respect to consumers these days or it this a new government rule that we don't know
about , who doesn't comply  just give them hell or just take all their rights from them since the constitution has no meaning anymore.
