4th Amendment underwear for all your travel needs
Now there's a way to protest those intrusive TSA X-ray scanners without saying a word. 4th Amendment Metallic ink-printed undershirts and underwear causes the text of the 4th Amendment to show up on x-ray scanner monitors. The perfect companion for your 21st amendment drink koozie. (cargocollective.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think that once these scanners begin to be widely used you will see more and more people actually driving to their destinations instead of flying... At least in the U.S. especially due to the fact that a large part of the population was sprouted from prudes. Oh and don't misunderstand me, I am by no means excited about the fact that someone may ask me to step into a machine that will allow them to examine my body in the bare... Yikes! Now how many of us will be inclined to trim down to look great for those looking, and who is to police the people looking to keep perverts out of the job of looking at naked people all day long. This whole idea is getting way out of hand, and all for safety.
They make the policies that don't affect them; as well as every misinformed opinion they have. Sometimes I wonder we as "common folk" or the "populus" are more aware than these politicians of what is going on.
I doubt that any politician, who made those laws, is required to go through these procedures.
I agree with you Chris. People should note that while we are so focused on air security, the terrorists will have other ways/ means to cause trouble without the use of aircraft. People should be more vigilant against these guys. Look at United 93; fight back, don't let them succeed. Don't do things like sit back and watch as somebody charges for the cockpit. My 2 cents.
Paul Cline: You miss the point entirely!! The terrorists are playing a cunning game of chess with the western world, and we are falling for their every move!! Their whole plan is to cause us to destroy our own society by over reacting to their moves. And people like you are the pawns they use to do their bidding!!!! It’s as though they have planted the words in your mind and people like you willingly push for the very things the terrorists want.
It may seem cold, but in the grand scheme of things the worst they can do is prick the western world with a pin. But with our every “atomic” reaction we do immeasurable damage to the western free way of life, and we are doing it.
Your comparison to the way we are willing to tolerate constitutional abuses like illegal searches and seizures by police have nothing to do with hypocrisy in our society. Rather it is just another example of the same thing on a domestic level. We are willing to allow the constitution itself to be trashed just to feel like we are doing something…….(Not!) about the greater problems in our own domestic society. It’s just something we have accepted and decided not to fight, exactly what you are saying we should do regarding the TSA procedures. You are saying that freedom in no longer something to fight and die for!!!!!!! Tell you what, if that’s the case than while we are at it let’s just demand the government to dissolve the military and bring our troops home, after all why should a single person die fighting terrorists. Let’s just give them what they ultimately want and they will go away, right!!!
Look, I know that in our “civilized” way of life this may sound absurd or even immoral, but if we as a society could ignore publicly everything the terrorists do to us, this evil cave dwelling society would dry up and die in their squalid little holes in the ground. They would literally die of frustration not being able to figure out how to get to us. And if we could find the strength to openly laugh at them on TV every time they did some desperate act, they would literally be cutting their own throats as total failures.
To use an earlier example provided by mgravel, we long ago came to accept the risks of driving on our own roads, as the risk and price that is acceptable in order to travel freely by automobile. No freedom loving American is willing to give that up, regardless of the real danger. Yes we do try to design some obvious risks out of the system, but ultimately any person who wants to can drive anywhere at free will at any time, and maybe even die or kill somebody else in the process. For the past 50 years, on average more than 40,000 people have died each year in the U.S. in traffic accidents on our public roads. Yet every day most of us get in our cars and drive without the slightest worry of dying that day. Believe me we are the kind of people that do ignore risk and even death every single day!! We could turn this whole struggle on its head if we would just wake up and do what we already know very well how to do.
Let me finish by saying this Paul. If the founders of America felt and believed and talked and acted the way people like you do, nothing that you and the rest of the civilized western world lives and experiences every day would even exist here or anywhere else in the world.

And back to the actual subject - the 4th amendment underwear. SENSATIONAL!!! What an awesome idea!
Its hardly surprising they have pretty much sold out of everything.
Go the free market! Maybe paranoid creatures like Paul need to bunker into their homes, close the doors and windows and never, ever go out again.
Hey Paul. The terrorists are watching you on the internet, they can reverse your PC screen so they can see what you are doing to learn what red-blooded americans really do, so they can infiltrate your home. Better turn off the PC Paul. :-)
