John Tyner Refuses TSA Body Scanner, Patdown, Faces Fine, video

john tyner is 100% right. because TSA is wrong. do you know how many "MEN" of different nationality "protrude" in the gential area.  there will be definitely "lots" "lawsuits" because of "MEN" different nationality "protrude" in the gential area and is and will be documented. Keep in mind TSA employees use the same "dirty and nasty" glove to touch and put their "dirty and nasty" on other people items in their luggage. and, now they want to "share" the same "dirty and tasty" glove to pat passengers down. TSA  touching the gentials is "forced rape". TSA IS WRONG FOR TOUCHING PASSENGER "GENTIALS" IN PUBLIC VIEW. TSA IS 100% WRONG.    

Sorry, but I agree.  TSA is full of thugs who couldn't get hired at Micky D's.  Forcing a pat down until you are being molested would result in a lawsuit (as well it should). 

Simple way to solve this for people who dont want to deal with airport security.  Dont fly.

I refuse to let something as narrow-minded as "if you don't like it, don't fly" be the last word.  What most people don't understand is that the TSA is run by the government.  Rather they are considered officials.  They are the POLICE of the sky.  Our 4th amendment in the Bill of RIGHTs protects us from unlawful search and seizures by ANYONE.  Our privacy is supposed to be protected by said amendment in our persons and our properties.  Anyone wishing to search me is welcomed to do so as long as they go through the due process of law (obtain a warrant).  Furthermore, the statement made by the director of TSA that they've been inspected six ways from sunday is completely unsubstantiated.  We're talking about X-Radiation which is absorbed by your skin and subdermal layers and DOES NOT GO AWAY.  Over time this exposure can cause skin cancer.  An improperly configured backskatter machine can deliver 20x the "safe" dose.  Also not to mention the FDA is the one that approved the use.  This is neither a food nor a drug but is radiation exposure.  The FDA has no reason to be approving this at all with exception that they want to tag a respected organization to the process.  OK - all you sheep line up for processing.

John Tyner is 100% within is constitutional rights and the TSA is 100% outside of the law on this.  I don't care what some document says that differs with this.  We are still Americans and this is still the United States of America.  The constitution is still the supreme law of the land and article 4 prohibits unreasonable searches. 

Groping anyones genitals is unreasonable without an extremely good reason which clearly does not exist in this case.

I agree with James28.  Don't like the rules?  Drive, take a cab, take a boat, walk.. or just stay home and watch TV.

HDSINOK,I challenge you to show me where in the constitution there is a reference made to airport screening. You people are all nitwits. I hope he's on the next plane that gets blown out of the sky. As someone who flies frequently, I don't care about the full body scans or the pat downs. He doesn't want the scan, he doesn't want the pat down--what the hell makes him think that he's so special that he shouldn't be searched at all.

At least John Tyne is not a sheeple He stood his gound..Good for him.And yes I'll drive. I wouldn't want to fly with sheeple who would go down with out a fight..

I am a male.  I only want to be patted down (i.e. groped) by a female TSA agent.  I wonder if that is OK?  :).

If scans or pat downs stop one plane from crashing into a high rise is'nt it worth it, Only people who have something to hid don't want searced. you have a bigger chance of skin cancer from the sun then the scanner

I fly alot!!!  All those that dont want to be screened..........move to a differnt country.......who cares....about the body screens....Go fight for something better then that...like hungry children..homeless people.....GET OVER IT PEOPLE... whats the big deal... go see a therapist....!!!             

Hooray for John Tyner. The TSA is a group of people who were unemployed yesterday, are given a 'limited subject short course" today, then become rude and demanding authority figures tomorrow. Where is the experience and courtesy? Their leaders are political appointees "with no experience". Radiation accumulates and is stored in the body forever. And a patdown is controlled by no legal rules and limitations. I want to fly safe, but must all human decency be forfeited to a untrained person "licensed to grope"? And most of all - I AM A CUSTOMER!

It's all well and good to say don't fly, however, I have two stepsons, one is sixteen and the other is thirteen,  are they to be subjected to either being exposed or groped?  If anyone else took a nude photo of them it would be child porn.  And if anyone other than a government official gropes them, he or she would be thrown in jail.  I don't have a choice in them flying; it is the only way they can get to visit their biological dad.  So just how far do we let the TSA go on this.  It would be much safer to just do a strip search, are we willing to go that far?  I for one think it has gone too far already!

I think its pretty pathetic, that this gentleman went up to the machine and instigated a argument between him and the TSA agents. Understand this people, you are GROWN UP'S. You know that this procedure is for your safety and these people are trained to do the procedure. If you are nervous understand that we are human, we all know what the naked body looks like. So get over it and let these people do their jobs which is keeping YOU and I safe.You know that word? Safety? the word that you screamed to the 'government' your so pissed off for when 9-11 happened? Oh that was then huh? When people got on the plane and blew them up, or when they pulled out a knife, or some other weapon and held others hostage. I am pretty sure that then you were all crying your eyes out demanding for SAFETY.Now you are bitching because the TSA is making things safer? Give me a break! You are all hypocrites, MALE TSA's are allowed to pat down another Male, this is procedure this is a safety issue you ALL wanted a few years ago.There is nothing ' sextual ' about it. Female TSA agents are allowed to pat down FEMALE passengers. This gentleman didn't want to do either.He went through the area, knowing that he was going to cause a fight, started an argument, held up tons of people waiting to go through the detector and made a scene, he made himself a suspect. He brought unwanted attention to himself refused a safety check and then just expected to walk out of there no problem? I don't think so. This isn't a court where you go through a metal detector, this is a AIRPORT where hundreds of other people can be flying with you in the air at the same time, this is a place where you cannot run or escape a mad man with a bomb, you are stuck in the air with a crazy lunatic planning on killing you all including your ' babies 'But thats okay because you cant even walk through a scanner.... because you feel like your privacy is being broken... PLEASE....  pathetic.This man walked up to the TSA like he had something to hide, REFUSED to be checked claiming he would have TRAINED professionals arrested for ' Molesting ' him (right) and then he planned on just walking away after making a scene.I would HOPE they would detain him and make him be patted down anyway for EVERYONES personal safety.... If he actually HAD a bomb taped to his inner thigh, and made a scene, and then tried to walk away he could potentially carry the bomb right back out into the open to try again later.... Did you ever think about that?They did the RIGHT thing, you are all just winey little babies that don't know what the hell they want.... you want to be safe, and you want the airport to keep you safe, but you wont allow them too because your ' uncomfortable' ... pathetic, hypocrites.
