Jesse Ventura suing over body scans, pat downs

[Blake]

MINNEAPOLIS – Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura sued the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, alleging full-body scans and pat-downs at airport checkpoints violate his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

.........

According to the lawsuit, Ventura received a hip replacement in 2008, and since then, his anium implant has set off metal detectors at airport security checkpoints. The lawsuit said that prior to last November officials had used a non-invasive hand-held wand to scan his body as a secondary security measure.

But when Ventura set off the metal detector in November, he was instead subjected to a body pat-down and was not given the option of a scan with a hand-held wand or an exemption for being a frequent traveler, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said the pat-down "exposed him to humiliation and degradation through unwanted touching, gripping and rubbing of the intimate areas of his body."

Not who I would have chosen to be the spokesman of the Bring TSA Down movement but I still hope he wins.

They are just afraid that he will try to bring that enormous Gatling gun onto the airplane.

Every time I see his show Conspiracy Theory, he looks old and frail as . I still wouldn't with him though. He probably has super old man strength.

A valiant cause I support.

If it goes to SCOTUS, he'll lose, 5-4.

Its hard to take someone ing about patdowns seriously when he physically choked a politician that he was pissed at behind closed doors his first few months on the job.


I'd throw my support behind Franken ANY day of the week over this jackwad.

Wasn't aware that agreeing with Ventura on body scans obligates you to agree with Ventura on everything else he believes.......

Franken?

It never crossed your mind that maybe the guy deserved to get choked? Everyone complains cause all these poli's do is talk and no action, well Jesse made something happen.
