I asked my FA's yesterday whether any had been required to go through the body scanners. Yes, they said at MEM and they weren't given the option, they also passed thru the metal detector and were frisked. So they got the royal treatment. I proceeded to explain that in addition to it being a violation of their 4th amd't right protection of unreasonable searches, it was a danger to their health. I have found as I talk to folks about these scanners, I am surprised to find out how very little the are aware of what these things are. We have to spread the word. Do not assume people know what they are being asked to do. They have no clue. If you don't care about the constitutional, privacy issues, or health issues, at least think about the impact this will have on your livilihood. Because people WILL drive or find some other mode of transport rather than go thru the humiliation of an "enhanced" pat down(good ole fashioned molesting).
The most common response..."that would make me not want to fly".
