ExpressJet Airlines first officer Michael Roberts was chosen for the X-ray scan Friday at Memphis International Airport. The Houston-based pilot says he also refused a pat-down and went home.
The 35-year-old Roberts told The Commercial Appeal newspaper he wants to go to work and not be “harassed or molested without cause.”

Oh and by the way I'm also sick of taking my shoes off at the airport. The war on terror is a hoax.

You CAN refuse the full body scan if you want to by law. You can opt for a pat down instead. People need to know their rights when it comes to the TSA, they purposely try to suppress the knowledge of such rights.

It is true that the full-body scanners are a worthless crock, and the TSA doesn't really make air travel safer.
