Here are a few. There should be some more popping up over the next few days.

They go to the airports, pass out flyers about the body scanners near the TSA checkpoints, and videotape intrusive patdowns:

Isn't harassing low level system members the same as what TSA agents do?

I mean, neither can affect change, and neither are particularly out to get each other. Wouldn't a more effective use of time involve some type of petition to the powers that be? Harass the law makers who actually put this stupidity in place?

Don't get me wrong, I always opt for the groping vs cancer. I'm just saying...
 
I don't think their goal is to harass the agents, most of those people walking through the airport don't know you can opt-out, and even the ones who do, they probably won't because they don't know how to stand up to the screeners. When they are seeing even just a few people assert their rights, the dynamic changes.

Surely the airports are private property? Why did the airport authorities not just kick them out?

They are typically owned by the county/city, and as long as they are not breaking those laws, they can continue what they are doing. You see in the 2nd video, the Deputy Sheriff assert his authority over the airport employee.

People have been petitioning the powers that be ever since the body scanners were implemented. Why hasn't anything changed? Because the law makers don't give a shit what you and I think.

Also, who's harassing who? I only watched the Adam Vs the Man, but the only people doing the harassing were the cops.
 
cop in 2nd video was pretty cool actually. He shut that old guy down.

This is so incredibly true, they are very good at intimidating you, making you feel awkward, and overall discouraging the opt-out.
 
I opt out every time I interact with the TSA. Not sure what shocks them more, the lack of obedience, that I'm not American, or that I tell the people around me that the machines are banned in Europe.

Also, like Eli said, it's pretty kinky.
 
I always opt out too. They try to "make me conform". "Are you sure you want to do this? It could take a long time, it's intrusive and you might miss your flight" I'm like: I've got 2 hours until boarding. I'm good.

It's really a pain in the ass for them because they have to find two agents and a room since I refused to be frisked in public.
 
I'll play devils advocate so I guess my question is is the airport private property? If so, why wouldn't the owners be allowed to decide who can be on their property or not?

I obviously hate the TSA, but I'd really hate for someone to come on my property outside my house and be handing out flyers for some politician I hate or something siting 'free speech'. Can they hold up signs on my property? How far does it go? Is the Airport not private property?

From what I gathered, they can. But they can't detain you or force you to identity yourself.

No they're not. I thought they didn't have them here until yesterday, flight from Amsterdam -> London, had to go through a body scanner. Would've opted out, but by the time I realised I was gonna go through one I'd pretty much missed the opportunity, and only saw the metal detector when I came out.

My local international airport MSP is owned by "Metropolitan Airports Commission".

Metropolitan Airports Commission is a MN state government agency.

Metropolitan Airports Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think most are owned by a state, city, or county agency with a random name like that.
 
The airports they went to were all publicly-owned. There are areas in the airports that are public domain, but there are also restricted areas where you can't film, like the monitors in the screening areas. TSA had told them where they were allowed to film, and as long as they didn't impede the screening process, they could do it. The TSA were aware of what these people were gonna be doing, but apparently they didn't say anything to the airports about it.
 
i never opt out. getting your junk touched by a 500 lb black chick is free here, costs me $400 at the strip club.
 
Every time I go to the airport I keep a fresh and moist shit wrapped in plastic then when it comes to putting the bags through I lay it out on the treadmill right before it goes in always fucks up their shit and they have to clean it and shut down everything. Take that fuckers
 
Lol at the second video. "Ima shut down half the airport so you can't hand out flyers" lol
