Most Americans favor the new scanning and pat-downs in airports, but people who are OK with it have little incentive to speak out. So we only hear from the whining minority.
On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: “The image in the scanner is not you. You wouldn’t recognize you. If you saw the scan of you, you wouldn’t know it’s you, so how is it an invasion of your privacy?
“There’s over-reaction here… It seems commonsensical that if we can not find a non-metallic device on a person but now we will be able, it seems to me an outline is worth the price.”
Regarding Israel: “Do you support a police state vs. a free state in any other instance? Why do people change every one of their values when it comes to the Jewish state? I am certain it is because it’s the Jewish state. When people are consistent in every arena but one, you have to account for that one.
“I find it fascinating when gays support Palestinians when you can not come out of the closet in Palestine, but you can in Israel. The entire country [of Palestine] is not allowed to criticize religion.”
Second hour. Dennis talks to Scott Stewart, VP of Tactical Intelligence for STRATFOR, a global intelligence company about the effectiveness of the new scanners.
I discuss the parsha with Rabbi Rabbs Mondays at 7pm PST on my live cam.
