The TSA downplayed the complaints

Reuters:

Hundreds of U.S. air travelers have lodged complaints over use of full-body security scanners in the past year, charging they violate personal privacy and may be harmful to their health, documents released on Tuesday showed. [...]

goons to the rescue with bullshit:

[...] The TSA downplayed the complaints, saying only 600 of more than 4 million air travelers had lodged objections — an “infinitesimally small” 0.015 percent — and stressing that passengers could opt for an alternative form of screening. [...]

as with most things goon related, bring on bastiat and discuss what isn’t seen. for example, i’m not complaining to the lickspittle fed fucks, since in 2003 i, a pilot since the late 80s, stopped flying as passenger or pilot because of the relentless incompetent bullying from TSA and associated fools/brigands. so they hear nothing from me and consider it evidence that they’re on the right track.

sure.

of course, this all goes back to consumer “service” fuckup number one, which is to reply to any complaint with some variation of “well, you’re the only one who’s said something about it.”

classic narcissistic tactic from — shocker — career sociopaths.
