REstricting travel by official design

I didn't think Canada bought into this insanity! Our attorney general, Janet Napolitano, is thinking of giving exemptions to Muslim women. How insane is that?! I have decided not to fly until this insanity is over. There is nothing wrong with profiling Muslim men ages 20-40, they are the ones causing all the troubles and murders. I refuse to be molested by strangers just so that my government can be politically correct.

I don't fly much either, I actually prefer cruise than flying I don't really feel like looking down thousands of feet to see some scenery back in my younger days a friend makes it a big deal that I never get on airplane I didn't say anything I thought who cares, not her business to know that I don't see why flying is exciting, unless I am the pilot maybe it's a great feeling to be up in the air but other than that I would go with cruise all the way, or even submarine better sceneries for sure LOL I think those scanning bodies are the perverts, not passengers

I have not flown in a long time. There are things besides security measures that I dislike. I had rather be in charge of my own time and drive. I would opt for the scan, it is no trouble to me. I would not want to do it often, though. I also would not want to be shot out of the sky, or blown up by a bomb.

last time I flew was in MArch adn when I told them I had stents inmy heart they put me in amother line and they ran the hand held device like they have done before . Nope this isnt going to stop me from flying altho I would rather drive its like a 3 day drive to where I go. I cant get anyone to go with me to releive me and the kids think I am to old lolololol If I really had the money to goon I would any how!

The "see you in the altogether scanners" that you're referring to do not see you in the way that we do. It works by capturing the reflected energy from electromagnetic waves beamed to the body. Imagine talking in an empty room, full of hard surfaces - your voice will sound hard, loud and echoes. Talk in a room with soft furnishings such as curtains, carpet etc and your voice will sound soft, quiet and clear without echoes. The reflected energy will be weaker for body mass as the soft body tissue absorbs more than it reflects. Concealed items will normally be denser and reflect more of the energy. The final "image" that appears looks more like an MRI than anything remotely like a photo. In addition, the operators that examine the images are located in a remote location. Their job is to simply alert staff in your vicinity of any suspicious looking concealments. If you've managed to hide something on your body, that's when you get the pat down or x-ray. Personally, these scanners do not bother me - I just hate the 1001 questions that they ask.

I have flown several times, myself, and I really enjoyed it! My first flight was when my parents and I went to Hawaii in 1972. We flew from Birmingham to Los Angeles. Then, we flew from there to the big island of Hawaii. That was also my mother's first time to fly and she was afraid. Even though we flew several times since then, she never got over being afraid to fly. We flew to the different islands while we were there. Then, we flew from Honolulu to San Francisco and we spent a week with my uncle and his family who lived in Napa, which is near San Francisco. Then, we flew from San Francisco back to Birmingham. The next year, we went to Europe and we flew from Birmingham to Atlanta, the from Atlants to Bangor, Maine. We flew overnight from Bangor, Maine to Brussels, Belgium. While we were in Europe, we flew to about four or five different countries. In 1975 or 76, my parents and I flew from Birmingham to Chicago. Then, from there to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Then, from there back to Birmingham. I also flew from Birmingham to Miami, Florida in 1976. My parents didn't go with me to Miami, though. I was singing in Sweet Adelines back then and several of us from the group in Jasper went to Miami that year for a convention. As you can see, I flown a few times in my life, lol. I've been in Winnipeg, btw. I didn't fly up there, though. I came with a tour group in 1989 and we rode a bus. We saw all the sights there.

Traveling is more challenging than it has ever been to before. The prices of long haul flights are very expensive. The amount of airport tax is very high on the ticket indeed. I travel with my disabled three year old son and my one year old daughter. This means it costs me an adult fare, a child fare and an infant fare which adds up the fare a lot. The airport security is very challenging but necessary to get on the plane. I struggle with a three year old that doesn't walk, a baby , our cabin baggage and folding up the buggy. I think that the body security scanners are in Canada and the USA. I don't like the sound of the radiation in the x-ray exposure. Petrol costs for motoring are high in my home country.
