I find it odd that we can exist as a community here at HN- with reasonable dialog and exchange of ideas, but yet we can have people like you who wholesale swallow these scanners as reasonable and worth accepting.
The TSA has a history of mismanaging the use of these scanners. This includes the actual operation of the devices as well as the maintenance of the devices. They don't provide meaningful security. All encroachments into our privacy should be fought on principle.
Stop moralizing so I don't have to copy your writing style to make a point. We can disagree on topics. There shouldn't be anything off limits at Hacker News.
The tactics you are employing in your writing style are obvious to any critical reader. Do not embarrass yourself by attempting to shame the community be association. We're all above average intelligent here. Reasonable people can disagree. Unreasonable people try to leverage shame. The community of opt-outers at HN is actually a reflection of the thoughtfulness of the average Hacker News Reader. Thoughtful people can disagree about Nginx vs. Apache, just the same as they can disagree about the value of TSA's naked body scanne^d^d privacy disintermediation proxies.
