TSA Scanner Argument Grounded by Delta Shuttle: Jeffrey Goldberg

Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- One of the great joys of flyingthe Delta Shuttle to Washington, D.C., out of the MarineAir Terminal at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport -- oh,what am I saying? There are no joys associated with flyingthe Delta Shuttle from LaGuardia, or from anywhere.

Let me try this again: One of the small consolationsof flying the Delta Shuttle out of LaGuardia is theabsence, at the Marine Air Terminal, of the TransportationSecurity Administration’s patented Let’s-Look-At-Passengers-Naked-While-They-Raise-Their-Hands-Like-We’re-Mugging-Them Machines. (This is not, by the way, how thefederal government refers to these devices.)
