Now everyone has to take off their belts. Belts apparently fuck up the TSA's whole-body X-Ray machine. Even if you opt out of the scanner and go for the TSA groping, they still make you remove your belts. Probably because either the TSA is unable to rationally come up with a security plan or, more likely, because they can.
And now it seems that there is no independent assessment that the TSA's X-ray machines are safe. All we have are assurances from the TSA and the manufacturers that the machines are safe, two groups that if you believe them, you'd have to be eight kinds of fool.
Did you ever get the feeling that the people who dream up these laughable security protocols formerly worked as comedy writers? The TSA seems to be in the business of seeing how far it can push the American people before passengers just stop flying.
I imagine that the day is not far off when everyone will be made to remove all their clothes, pack them into their bags and they will have to wear TSA-issued paper jumpsuits and slippers for the flights.
Some people have had enough of this shit.
UPDATE: From a suggestion via email-- Decline the X-ray machine and sing a few bars of "Alice's Restaurant".

Those fucking machines ought to be made so they expose the operator to as much radiation as the victim.
Let's see how safe TSA says the machines are, then.
