The purpose of the bill of rights is to protect us, the people, from being overrun by the government by ensuring our rights that entitles us to our freedom. Upon saying this I ask you, what if the rights given to us by the government are being violated continuously, and we that American people allow this to take place time after time.

Passengers are then required to step inside the full body scanner which is a virtual strip search that displays to the TSA a detailed image of a person’s body, so detailed that the outline of both men and women’s genitals are shown.
