You see, it is official TSA policy that people (both citizens and non-citizens alike) from international flights are screened as they enter the airport, despite the fact that they have already flown. Even before the new controversial security measures were put in place, I found this practice annoying. But now, as I looked past the 25 people waiting to get into their own country, I saw it: the dreaded Backscatter imaging machine.
This is the first I've heard of this, and I find it hard to believe. Immigration handles passports and visas. Customs handles what you're bringing into the country. And now the TSA goons are X-ray pornoscanning and groping international arrivals, in addition??
If this new "policy" is a reality, it's going to kill international tourism to this country when word gets out. This is going way overboard. We're really turning into the Fascist States of America. If we don't put a stop to this, it's going to get really ugly in short order.. |
