I can post studies that say they arent harmful.... and it proves what?

Here's how this works: You post what you think is a better citation (quote, name, link/page). You don't just whine like a little bitch.

TSA morale is being broken down with the 'enhanced' pat downs. I'm sorry TSA agents: I know you may not be enjoying this, but neither are we, and if you're not one of us, you're one of them. If you don't like your job, then quit. When nobody wants to be a TSA agent anymore, then maybe Homeland will get the message.

What planet are you on that you dont think air cargo doesnt get screened and/or xrayed?

You're totally fooling yourself, dude. I ship marijuana by FedEx, UPS, USPS overnight all the time. Don't even think twice about it. The odds of my parcel being screened are infinitesimal.

They found those explosive ink cartridges through good intel. Passenger and cargo screening is pointless and stupid. The fact that it's constitutionally dubious, hugely expensive, and potentially hazardous is just gravy.

I'd like to see those studies showing these particular backscatter machines are not harmful. All of the imaging and radiation experts I've read feel that we simply don't know what the health effects are. But there's no doubt that x-rays are potentially hazardous to humans, and it would be nice to see some data one way or the other before DHS willy-nilly forces everybody into these things.

Has PR between the TSA and the public reached a tipping point?

And here's a little history: Germany's "Reichstag Fire Decree". On Feb-27, 1933 the headquarters of the government of Germany was burned down under suspicious circumstances. The National Socialist response the next day:

The burning of the Reichstag was intended to be the signal for a bloody uprising and civil war. Large-scale pillaging in Berlin was planned.... It has been determined that ... throughout Germany acts of terrorism were to begin against prominent individuals, against private property, against the lives and safety of the peaceful population, and general civil war was to be unleashed....

In order to "secure" the people, you get the Reichstag Fire Decree passed:

Order of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State

1. Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. It is therefore permissible to restrict the rights of personal freedom, freedom of opinion, including the freedom of the press, the freedom to organize and assemble, the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications. Warrants for House searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed...

In short: An apparent terrorist attack which burned down the country's most famous building. The assertion that the threat was so keen that basic constitutional freedoms had to be discarded. Of course, it was all bullshit. And that's how dictatorial powers were made available for Hitler in Germany.

At first I had no problem with the new scanners and the groping, but then I read this excellent article by Krauthammer and I changed my mind...it's true, we'll bend over backwards to make ridiculous searches of children and grandmothers all so we don't have to do the obvious...profile.
