Your fear........
"Any individual has the right to refuse screening but, if passengers are not willing to undergo the required screening, they will not be allowed to board their flights."
Yes, I know that if I do not submit to the security procedures, I will not board that plane.
Congratulations, you've proven a point that NO ONE has been discussing.
What was that I said about you and reality?
"Did you understand that? That means that I can walk right up to security and refuse to be screened...and they can deny me access...which seems to me to be what I've been telling you all along."
No. Once again, you're trying to re-direct the discussion.
What >I< said was that if you did that, you'd be facing the local cops and/or FBI.
I >NEVER< said that you couldn't refuse.
Just that, if you DID refuse, you'd be talking to the local cops and/or FBI.
I >NEVER< said that you could board a plane after refusing to be scanned.
Just that, if you DID refuse, you'd be talking to the local cops and/or FBI.
Which was the whole purpose of my challenging you to PROVE you're right and DO THAT>
Just go to your nearest airport and attempt to cross security without being scanned.
How much simpler can I make that?
Just follow those simple steps.
#1. Go to the airport.
#2. Go through security without being scanned.
Is that simple enough?
Instead, I think you're going to attempt to "prove" something I've never claimed nor stated.
Feel free to do so.
I bet it's a lot easier for you to do that than to address the actual issues.
Your position is that she refused to be screened, resulting in her not being allowed on the plane.
My position is that, if she had refused to be screened, she'd be talking to the local cops and/or FBI.
To "prove" that, I challenged you to do so. Attempt to pass security without being screened.
If you had, you'd be facing the local cops and/or FBI.
Since she didn't face the local cops and/or FBI, she didn't refuse to be screened.
Therefore, she was screened.
Which means that she complied with the rules and should have been allowed to board the plane.
But she wasn't allowed to board the plane.
Which is where the problem is.
