Constitution Party Advocate Makes Case Against Body Image Scanners

At News with Views, former Constitution Party candidate for governor of Oregon, Mary Starrett argues against the use of body image scanners in US airports:

Want to keep America safe? Get naked. Do your patriotic duty; after all, if you’re not hiding anything what’s the big deal?  I recently read that the largest nudist group in the U.S. and Canada, the American Association for Nude Recreation fully endorsed the use of full body scanners at airports. I tried to verify this but my web filter said “don’t go there” and the site was blocked. I got as far as Wikipedia’s entry on AANR which says, “Founded in 1931, the organization advocates nudity and nude recreation in appropriate settings.” Personally, I think it’s fine if people choose to play badminton in the all together at a nudist park. That would be an “appropriate setting” for getting naked in public.On the other hand, airports are not appropriate settings for Americans forced to get virtually naked in front of Gestapo-like TSA agents who’ll do who knows what with the images . . .

Polls showing 74% of Americans think airport body scans will make us more secure are either incorrect or else we have become a thoroughly brainwashed and ideologically lobotomized assemblage of slaves who are happy to chant “Thank you sir, may I please have another?” with each violation against our Bill of Rights and natural law.

The fourth amendment guarantees:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
