CUT OUT THE STUFF I AM NOT RESPONDING TO ATM

As you knew of the security measures (including the full body scanners) well in advance of buying the ticket, you agreed to these measures under the "terms of service" when you bought the ticket. You don't have to sign anything to agree to terms of service, you agree to them simply by using the product. I can guarantee that the fine print
on the airline bill of purchase for the ticket includes a provision to submit to any security measures necessary.

The TSA publishing their TOS and putting it on tickets does not magically make the measures that they are taking REASONABLE. Nobody is accusing them of sneakiness. We are questioning the REASONABLENESS of the process.
