Glenn Beck debuted a new video during his show Thursday asking the question, what if those TSA X-ray images could talk?
The video features a series of scanner images of all body shapes and sizes, anonymous except for their voices:
“My name is Antoine. I served two tours in Iraq and now I’m a professional chef.“ ”My name is Kevin. I’m really good at baseball.”
“Wake the nation up,” Beck said Thursday, “you can’t continue to remain silent.”

Posted on March 11, 2012 at 11:38amWe used these scanners in Afghanistan, and they are fully resolutional. The images above are poor quality, compared to what I saw everyday at the entrance of our FOB. The images are highly detailed, and show everything. The blocky images you see above are doctored. We scanned people, and saw everything, and joked about it. One guy had a ring through his … Johnson, and it showed it in vivid detail. Then someone searching the guys coming through asked if this is what the scanners at the airport did, and everything got really quiet. I’m not sure I recognize this nation anymore.

Posted on March 10, 2012 at 10:15amThe point is that you can’t tell by looking at someone that they are a good person or a bad person. Even if a person has never done anything wrong and done lots of good things there is nothing stopping that person from deciding to do something really evil today. If you were a terrorist and knew someone who could get on a plane without being checked wouldn’t you just kidnap their child and have this individual carry something on his/her body or in a bag? It is human nature to rationalize things into being ok when you want to do them. If you tell the person what he/she is carrying is harmless but illegal and if he/she chooses not to do this for you the kid dies, and if you didn‘t care about staying out of trouble with the law you wouldn’t need him/her, don’t you think you could get this person to take that chance, especially knowing he/she won’t get searched/caught? You don’t even have to do that though. If the person in question is mentally deficient or a very young child you could just hide it on the person and no one would ever need to know at all. Catch up with this individual on the other side and either set it off or take back to be used later by you or someone else. I know TSOs that are active/retired military, ex-cops, nearly all are parents and many are grandparents. Glenn Beck and The Blaze are constantly painting TSA in a negative light. I don’t have a problem with the body scanners. I think they’re great! So easy and quick to use. I(t‘s planes I don’t li

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 10:37pmOh! And yes and the Feds consider it “illegal search” for Florida to require drug test for welfare recipients yet the TSA thugs can strip search your daughter on a busy interstate in TN. At what point does it become worth dying for? Are we not already dead if we have no rights? SDW =SAY THE WORD !!!

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 10:27pmSimmer down you stupid conservatives, it’s just a little game we superior Liberal politicians are playing to enhance our bank accounts, after all we are all superior to you conservative fleebs. It’s entertaining for us elites to watch your wives and daughters file thru our X-ray doors, especially those who have had enhancement surgery. It shows how gullible and stupid you sheeple actually are, believing our silly terrorist hoaxes. What silly fools you all are. It’s your bedtime now so settle down and go to bed. Silly children.

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 7:10pmI don’t like the fact these people have been scanned by those TSA agents and their nasty x-ray machines. This is a violation of the 4th amendment, illegal search and seizure without probable cause. How could these people be guilty of anything? This is all done in the name of security. Soon they will be searching people’s cars on the highway, oh wait, they are already doing that. Soon they will be searching people’s houses without probable cause. PEOPLE WAKE UP! THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED! WHO ARE THE REAL TERRORIST?

Posted on March 10, 2012 at 10:20amGive me a break! It is NOT a violation of ANY right!! You choose to undergo screening because you WANT to fly. Don’t want to be screened? No problem, don’t fly. If the government starts coming into your house or yanking you off the sidewalk and screening you against your will, then you will have a valid complaint.

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 12:41pmAmericans are subject to invasiom of privacy with these X-rays, and the TSA shakedowns at airports. Yet from Februay 26th through March 8th, On the 26th, Newark’s Mayor Booker, and Governor Christie (North Jersey.com :Jan 2011) objected to the NYPD surveillance of Muslin groups. Then on the 29th Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy (former Newark Police Director) met with individuals from CAIR. In eight days, March 8th, NJ’s Senator Lautenberg and AG Holder are discrediting the NYPD.
Report Post »The NYPD surveillance is more likely to discover an islamist among Muslins than the X-rays and TSA shakedowns of American citizens at airports.

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 12:32pmStill think you are free? They are doing this to you on the street and you don’t even know it or have an optout. I would hate to think how many perfectly good and LEGAL pocket knives I have thrown in the trash at a wanding by some punk security guard at sporting venues, theaters, special events on public streets, schools, courts and municipal offices. Name how many of the places you get blasted with frequencies in the name of security.
Report Post »I have stopped buying quality knives and settle for junk because I may have to surrender it at any moment. Think the same can’t happen to your guns? This is not about security! You are less secure now than you were before 11SEP2001! THIS IS ABOUT CONDITIONING! You are being softened up for what is coming.
WAKE UP! You are already dead! Go down swinging!

Posted on March 9, 2012 at 2:04pmYou have that right TexasGiant—NUDGE. We have lost most of our freedoms. While Muslims are given a 100% free pass, the rest of us are subjected to criminal interrogations before we have even done anything whether we will ever do anything. The Minority Report is here too….thought crimes anyone?
