A local story of note (which has gone national) is about a guy who refused to go through TSA’s full body scan at SD International airport, and then refused a secondary pat down and subsequently ended up in the third ring of bureaucratic/Homeland security hell. Homeland Security measures, broadly applied and comprehensive in scope, threaten the privacy of everyday citizens as well the activists among us.

Thanks Anna, for your vigilance. Just posted that story.
The victim did not refuse a part down. He refused to allow his groin and private parts to be fondled by a government worker. I would hope everyone had the right to refuse this invasion of privacy. Of course, this government thinks he should be fined for this refusal.
