These scanners are expensive, invasive and inappropriate (especially for children), and only mildly effective.
Each scanner costs $200,000 each and TSA has admitted that they cannot guarantee they will detect all types of weaponry and explosives. In fact, when testing their effectiveness, an undercover TSA agent went through the body scanner five times with her gun undetected just a few months ago.
Whether you are against them all together, or would like to see them be more effective and less intrusive before being purchased for billions of dollars, sign this petition.

Ridiculous waste of tax money. They cant even catch a gun half the time so why are we paying for these things?
dont touch my kids. i hate flying now because of the creepy scanners.
Total invasion of privacy. I refuse to be treated like a criminal just because I want to visit my family.
THIS IS ABSURD. TSA is out of control and we are paying the tab for it.
The scanners are invasive and honestly just theater. It doesnt make us safer just more annoyed at the airport.

Metal detectors is one thing but they don't violate people's decency like the body scanners being used in airports. They catch you having something that turns out to be harmless depending on a person's attitude.
