I object to the use of these devices on 4th amendment grounds. I have never committed a crime and being forced to endure the abuse of my civil liberties whenever I need to travel is a disgrace. I routinely opt out, which causes me significant costs due to the amount of extra time I need to budget for each trip. I think the TSA needs to respect that we as US citizens have a right to travel freely across the US without constant and unwarranted surveillance, search, or seizure. These devices are ineffective, dehumanizing, and are shining example of government waste and abuse. I have often opted to drive or take a train instead of flying thus increasing the cost of my trip and also increasing my risk of death as flying is a safer alternative. I would prefer for the TSA to be disbanded and security returned to the airlines, let each airline compete on the security it offers - I guarantee it would be less invasive and more cordial. I would also like to mention that the request for comments should've happened years ago.
