Fair! I was going to go back and edit, but my comment was more for other people who read your comment thinking it was a good idea for them to do (assuming they can raise their hands over their heads).
- caseysoftware 9mo agoSince the TSA cannot force you to prove it - after all, they're not medical personnel to evaluate it and not willing to risk your injury - whether someone lies becomes irrelevant.
- fsckboy 9mo ago"i can't raise my arms over my head" doesn't contain the word "medically". could be religious reasons, or simply personal superstition.
- twoodfin 9mo agoFederal judges just love this kind of language lawyering.
- fsckboy 9mo agoit's legal to say "I can't raise my arms over my head". it is then prohibited to ask people about disabilities, should somebody think to inquire. I was not saying "tell this to a judge", i was telling HN that yall were making assuumptions. (assuumptions makes ass-of-you-and-you)
- sokoloff 9mo agoIf they decide to follow up to make an example of you, they can easily record a video of you until you raise your arms over your head somewhere later in the airport or on the flight. You won’t have a good time proving your case.
- kmoser 9mo agoJust because you can raise your hands over your head doesn't mean it isn't painful. In any case, it's legal to opt-out of the scanners, so why would they care what method you use (really what language you use) to indicate you'd rather get a pat-down than go through the scanners? Either way you're complying with the law.
