You want mass resistance? Stop flying. Just don't do it. I'm in Austin; it takes me around 8 hours to drive to New Orleans, if I take it easy. Flying now takes the same amount of time, but adds many more layers of hassle to my day. So I'll drive it, every single time, and arrive more relaxed and less violated. :)
I've given up flying commercial airlines. I'll drive it, or take the train or boat.

In your first example the hot chick has a gun...that might be something we want the TSA folks to find.
Nothing more dangerous in the skies then a hot chick with a gun. (Its always the hot chick that shoots the US Marshal/FBI agent and helps the shackled prisoner get loose and take over the plane forcing Wesley Snipes, Kurt Russell, or the guys from 'The Unit' to save the day).

Might work, if I still didn't have to fuckin pay for it - I boycotted commercial airlines, and General Motors for good goddamn reasons, and then they go whinge and whine and cry to the Government to come TAKE the money I refused to give em, and bail them out with it, so in the end I am STILL out the blasted money and got nothin at all to show for it.

You can buy your own 150mph airplane, and pay for your pilot training, for less than the cost of your average new car. And no stinkin speed limits, stop signs nor traffic copsters.
I've seen flight instructors with no legs, one arm, or a 90-year-old granny.
You don't even need a "license" nor vehicle registration for ultralight aircraft:
Hmm, I'd like to know who the girl in the top picture there is, cause should they ever wish to make a live action version of Black Lagoon, she'd be a shoe-in for Revy.

The device would also be used from a distance on groups of people “and mass scans on crowds at events such as football matches.”
“The biggest challenge is making it portable and ensuring it can carry out a scan in seconds,” Giampiero Gerini, a professor at Eindhoven University, told the paper.
The aim is to develop and deploy the device within three years. With police in major American and British cities already carrying out random searches of innocent people under routinely abused terrorism laws, mobile scanners are likely to be added to their arsenal, especially if people have been trained to accept their use as routine in airports.
Three years ago, leaked documents out of the Home Office revealed that authorities in the UK were working on proposals to fit lamp posts with CCTV cameras that would X-ray scan passers-by and “undress them” in order to “trap terror suspects”.
'I don't even get a call to check up,' Dollard resident Shama Chopra says
MONTREAL – It has been almost two weeks since Shama Chopra witnessed the failed attempt to blow up a plane en route to Detroit.
On Christmas Day, she handed water bottles to passengers who had jumped the would-be bomber, on fire after trying to detonate an explosive device. Chopra, 54, was sitting four rows from the Nigerian suspect and feels that she has a story to tell.
But so far, no security official from Canada or the U.S. has called to speak to the Dollard des Ormeaux resident about her harrowing experience, and she doesn't understand why.
"If I had died, I'm sure there would have been many statements (from Canadian officials)," said Chopra, who volunteers at the Hindu Mandir Temple in Dollard. "Now I survived, and I don't even get a call to check (how I'm doing)."
Chopra said she wants to tell U.S. investigators that airport security officials need to do a better job reading the body language of airline passengers. Before passing through security for Northwest Flight 253, she saw Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with one hand on his waist and the other on his forehead.
"He was shaking his head several times," she recounted.
"I thought he was sick or something - why didn't anyone notice?"
She also said that passengers were questioned by security officials before passing through the security gate at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Chopra wonders how Abdulmutallab was able to board the plane without raising any suspicions.
A quantity of explosive, found in a flat on Dorset Street in Dublin this morning, was brought into Ireland following a failed security operation in Slovakia.
The explosive was one of eight pieces of contraband planted by the authorities in the luggage of unsuspecting passengers at Bratislava Airport in Slovakia last weekend as part of a test of security procedures.
Seven were detected by airport security, but the eighth - 90g of research development explosive or RDX - was put in the luggage of a Slovakian electrician who lives and works in Dublin.
The 49-year-old unwittingly brought the material to Dublin when he returned from Christmas holidays.
Gardaí were eventually alerted this morning following a call from police in Bratislava and the flat on Dorset Street was sealed off.
During the operation, the adjoining homes and businesses were evacuated as the Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit removed the explosive for further analysis.
Both Gardiner Street and Lower Dorset street were closed off for about an hour.
The Slovakian man was arrested at the scene, but gardaí are now satisfied that he is innocent and he was released from custody this afternoon. He will not face charges.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said the Slovakian Minister for the Interior has conveyed his Government's profound regret for this incident to the Justice Minister Dermot Ahern.
Minister Ahern said he was very concerned about the fact that the gardaí were not alerted for three days and has asked for a full report.
Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy has appointed Detective Chief Superintendent Martin McLaughlin to establish the full background to this incident.
The Slovakian Minister has told Minister Ahern that his government will cooperate fully with the Garda investigation.
No arrest or prosecution of the police who planted the bombs and arrested innocent patsies. Media mafia dont even complain about govt planting REAL bombs on airliners and framing innocent patsies.
Quote: Despite the frigid temperatures outside, the protesters assembled nearly naked groups at airports in Berlin, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf on Sunday afternoon. The participants stripped down to their underpants, marching behinds signs that read: “No need to scan us – we’re already naked.”
A statement on the party's website said they opposed the new security scanners because they threaten the “private sphere and the personal rights of passengers.”
Germany's data protection commissioner, Peter Schaar, warned officials last week not to rush the implementation of the full-body scanners at airport security stations following a failed terrorist attack in the US last month. Critics are concerned that the devices, which allow security personnel to see through clothing, have not been improved enough to protect passengers' personal rights.
Meanwhile Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives said use of the scanners would be fast-tracked for introduction within the year.
The German Pirate Party was inspired by the Swedish Piratpartiet and founded in 2006. In the September 2009 federal election they garnered two percent of the vote.
Quote: A privacy group says the Transportation Security Administration is misleading the public with claims that full-body scanners at airports cannot store or send their graphic images.
The TSA specified in 2008 documents that the machines must have image storage and sending abilities, the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) said.
In the documents, obtained by the privacy group and provided to CNN, the TSA specifies that the body scanners it purchases must have the ability to store and send images when in "test mode."
That requirement leaves open the possibility the machines -- which can see beneath people's clothing -- can be abused by TSA insiders and hacked by outsiders, said EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg.
EPIC, a public-interest group focused on privacy and civil rights, obtained the technical specifications and vendor contracts through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
The written requirements also appear to contradict numerous assurances the TSA has given the public about the machines' privacy protections.
"The machines have zero storage capability," the TSA Web site says.
A TSA video assures passengers "the system has no way to save, transmit or print the image."
"There is no way for someone in the airport environment to put the machine into the test mode," the official said, adding that test mode can be enabled only in TSA test facilities. But the official declined to say whether activating test mode requires additional hardware, software or simply additional knowledge of how the machines operate.
bout 40 machines are already in use at 19 airports, and the TSA says it will deploy 150 more nationwide this year, while appropriating money for an additional 300 machines for 2011.
"But if you look at the actual technical specifications and you read the vendor contracts, you come to understand that these machines are capable of doing far more than the TSA has let on," he said.
The TSA officer viewing the image cannot see the actual passenger. Except their fully naked body. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Striptease in public: Sheeple getting sheared naked
Believe me, I could dig up a ton of these in like, an hour...
Which is where our policy of re-routing surveillance feeds to porn channels comes into play, gives em something else to occupy their time with, since it's more or less what they WANT to be doing in the first place.

Quote: Obama’s Black TSA Nominee Targets White Christians, Ignores ADL Jew Adam Perlman Running Al Qaeda
Black illegal alien RAPEscans naked granny
President Obama’s nominee to head the TSA and boss the naked body scanners now being installed at airports across the country says that white Christian “anti-government” types will be the primary target of suspicion for authorities.
Former FBI agent Erroll Southers has been under scrutiny following Republican efforts to block his confirmation after it emerged Southers had abused his power to run a database check on his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.
Back in October, Southers told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, both of whom voted on his confirmation, that he carried out the search because he was concerned for his wife and son. However, after the committees had approved him, Southers admitted that he had lied under oath by failing to reveal that he had personally conducted the search and had done so on more than one occasion, as well as sharing the information with the police (so they could harass the target of the search, according to the Ace of Spades blog).
Given that the potential future head of the TSA has abused his power in the past and then lied about it to Congress while under oath, how can we have any confidence that he will change the climate of corruption and thuggishness that pervades the TSA, as stories of innocent people being terrorized and harassed continue to appear on an almost daily basis?
In a video interview posted to You Tube yesterday, Southers states the the government and the TSA has to “pay attention” not to Muslim terrorists but to “anti-government, anti-abortion, survivalist types” who are “christian identity oriented,” before he links such individuals with neo-nazi white supremacists and people like Buford Furrow, a former Aryan Nations member who killed one and injured three during a shooting at the Los Angeles Jewish Community Center in August 1999.
Southers subsequently throws in Ben Smith, a spree killer who targeted members of racial and ethnic minorities in random drive-by shootings in Illinois and Indiana in July 1999.
“Those groups are groups that claim to be extremely anti-government and christian identity oriented,” added Southers.
As we have exhaustively documented for years, even if there were hordes of Muslim terrorists planning to bomb airliners, the federal government is far more concerned with what politically active conservative and libertarian Americans are up to. An infamous leaked report distributed by the Missouri Information Analysis Center last year listed Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who display bumper stickers, people who own gold, or even people who fly a U.S. flag and equated them with radical race hate groups and terrorists.

Traffic court requires all defendants be stripped naked and appear in kiddie porn:
Quote: If you have business at the courthouse in Castle Rock, Colorado, be prepared to be subjected to a body scan. “Visitors and employees must now walk through a contraption many are used to seeing at airports, hold their hands up and wait to have a 3-D holographic image of their body snapped,” ABC News in Denver reported on June 11, 2008, well before the Christmas underwear non-bomber event and the current wave of government and corporate media spawned irrationality and hysteria designed to escalate Gestapo tactics in airports and acclimate citizens to the evolving police state.
“It’s not quite space age but it is definitely cutting-edge technology. The Douglas County Sheriff’s office said a body scanner and metal detector are both incorporated in the machine making it one of the first in the nation.”
The Denver news station insisted the machine is completely harmless. However, according to Mike Adams, the energy emitted by the machines may damage human DNA. Adams cites a study conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov and his colleagues at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico showed that these terahertz waves could “unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication.” In short, the machines may pose a threat to human health.
Beyond the health problems, the fact the machine was installed a full two years prior to the underwear non-bomber incident reveals that body scanners have nothing to do with preventing terrorism — the machines are the next wave of control grid technology. The corporate media blitz underway is an effort to condition the public to accept government hirelings gawking at their private parts. Body scanners are about submission, not preventing terrorism.
It is also significant because we are told the machines will be confined to airports. In fact, the machines will ultimately be installed not only in courthouses – the recent violence at a courthouse in Las Vegas and an earlier incident at a Holocaust museum in Washington may be cited (the latter shooter was described as a 9/11 truth activist by the corporate media) – but in all public places, including train and bus stations (recall the TSA searching bus passengers in Florida) and malls.

This is alas, not just fearmongering, but a very real potential problem, and one can damned well bet the folks oh so willing to foist these scanners on us don't have to walk through them, so what do they care ? http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/24331/

I think I'll shoot video of the scanner checkpoint at our local courthouse, with all the VIPs bypassing the scanner, probably carrying guns.
That scanner was not installed until our Skull & Bones mayor started "predatory annexation" of the entire county to double property taxes. Even the cops told me they were surprised the pensioners didn't revolt and gun down the entire city council.
Yeah, the patting down of kids is especially jarring, especially with the level of indoctrination and conditioning towards a police state they already get in public schools - not just from a safety or mental health aspect, but in that abuse of children by "trusted" officials is substantially on the rise and becoming a significant problem.
I gotta wonder about the TSA folk some times, while the machinery is inept, corrupt, I know some DepHomeSec guys down at DTW who are more interested in actual security than the bread and circuses of security theatre, and they do a decent enough job that I would want them hired by the airport itself even if DHS and TSA were disbanded, but for the most part these are berks who couldn't get a REAL job...
But thankfully not all of em - one of the TSA screeners got fired this week over something similar to the other story you posted, seems a decent enough guy (I'd hire him) who took a suck job cause it paid the bills, but when his partner pulled a very young girl out for "additional screening" with a leer, he pulled the guy aside and blew his stack - he's got a family, like I said, and he flat told that prick, and the supervisor, he wasn't gonna feel up a little girl, not for nobody - to which they showed him the door.
One problem they're gonna run into soon enough, now that one of their primary sociopath factories is smashed to bits, is finding people willing to do this sorta thing, cause eliminating their supply of THOSE is the first step towards turning this bullshit around.
