This is obviously off-topic, but it is here because the man that was arrested is a well-known open carrier on this board.

Sam, I love everything you are doing. Keep it up good sir and let me know if you need any assistance. If anybody in the Bay Area can make it to SFO on Wednesday, I'll be there handing out informational brochures on people's rights/options when it comes to dealing with the naked body scanners.

What misdemeanor exists making it unlawful to film or record TSA screeners in San Diego?

California has no law against it.

However, here is the San Diego Airport Authority code 7.14 (a)

http://www.san.org/documents/corp_serv/Codes/Article 7/Code 7.14 Filming.pdf

(a) No person shall take still, motion or sound motion pictures or voice recordings on the facilities and airports under the jurisdiction of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (the “Authority”) without written permission from the Authority’s Executive Director or his or her designee.
(b) Filming of X-ray equipment located on the facilities and airports under the jurisdiction of the Authority is strictly prohibited. Any person(s) caught filming such X-ray equipment may have their film confiscated.


I am pretty sure the bogus law wont stand up in court. If this law was actually applied, do you realize how many parents and their kids would be arrested for taking pictures of their vacation ?

This just goes to show that if you know you are going to have a confrontation with the police and you are intent on recording it that you should

# 1 - Password protect your IPhone

# 2 - Have a second person there filming.

# 3 - Have a backup recorder that is disguised. I wont give any suggestions cause then the po po will have clues what to look for.

# 4 - Record live through an outside source.

Powell also stated that there was another arrest of a woman who was allegedly illegally filming the x-ray, and TSA screening process with a video camera. The young woman’s camera was confiscated and she was given a citation and released from Harbor Police custody.

Prolly got a pic of Sam in his tidy whities :eek:

Proud of you Sam! I found the article in a completely different area of interest I have and noticed your name :)

Keep it up! I'm working on some tools to help keep the videos captured on your iphone secured from viewing and deletion, stay tuned.

What's that brass clanging sound I hear? Oh, that's just Sam going to the airport!

This perfectly demonstrates the organizational stupidity of TSA. The reason for a pat-down, enhanced or otherwise, is to detect weapons hidden underneath the clothing. When they have his clothing in hand where they can inspect it, and can visually see that he has nothing beneath his clothing, then they have no rational basis for insisting that he wear his clothing while it gets patted down.

And it wasn't clear from the article, but it doesn't sound like he refused to be patted down while in nothing but his Calvin Kleins -- they just didn't want to do that.

The purpose of the gate rape has been obvious to liberty advocates for some time, and now the general public is starting to wake up. It's not for security: it's to intimidate.

"But - 9/11!"
How many planes were blown up on 9/11? Zero.
How many illegal weapons were used by hijackers on 9/11? Zero (knives with 3.5" blades were legal on aircraft at the time).
How many planes taking off from U.S. airports have been blown up with bombs? Three known, one suspected, the most recent in 1962.

On 9/11, the airplanes were not the targets; they were the weapons. Over 9 years later, the government still hasn't figured that out.

Arm the passengers. DUH!

That would make WAY too much sense.

Now on to the reasons that we are not likely to EVER see an end to even more invasive searches.
The government created a group that makes its living by purportedly keeping terrorists from attacking with airplanes. I would assume that if this group (TSA) were effective, then we would actually see news reports of such terrorists being discovered and apprehended during the screenings. I cannot recall ONE such news report. But I DO recall at least two news reports (shoe bomber and underwear bomber) of terrorists that DID make it onto aircraft with likely intent to harm. So, the ONLY TWO such attacks since 9/11 that I know of, were not stopped! The org is ineffective, the people know it, so the only way for them to save face (in their twisted minds) is to make it more intrusive until they actually STOP terrorists before they get past them. :eek:

How much time was wasted on Flight 93 while our fellow patriots tried to create make-shift weapons to battle the hijackers with? Imagine the possible different, more positive outcomes if they had not had their 2A rights stripped away merely for being on a plane. This is the problem with reasonable restrictions!

Sam, good work on publicly proving just how stupid government workers are (to hell with the rules on this one). They just have to feel you up because that's procedure...with not one single government lacky smart enough to just laugh it off and say...point proven...enjoy your flight sir. Morons.

I refuse to fly again until this insanity stops. So my Christmas holiday plans are now out the window. And flying is a business requirement for me, of which I have yet to come up with a viable alternative solution.

And to take it one step further, now they talking about some sort of pre-security clearance program for frequent travelers! Something akin to a frequent flyer license. What a joke! Guilty until proven innocent.

I'm with you coolusename. I refuse to fly and am working on an email to sent to the major carriers letting them know that the ball is in their hands on this one. I am planning a big vacation for the family for the 4th of July. It would cost us around $2000 to fly 3 people round trip to Oklahoma. Instead we will probably drive my truck and camp along the way spending mayby 1000-1500 instead.

Does anyone know how Isreal handles their airline security? I am asking before I do an internet search.

And a question. Considering that they won't arm the passengers, what kind of security should there be before boading a plane?
