Privacy coalition protests body scanners as airports test them as primary screening

An eclectic alliance of more than 40 organizations — from the Nation Rifle Association and Eagle Forum to the Transgender Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union — wants regulations that guarantee privacy rights and assure that travelers are informed about how the machines work.

You have no privacy. In hundreds of ways you're being tracked and monitored. Some people value their personal information, but most will give up their computer passwords for a candy bar. Most people don't care about their privacy, stop thinking about how much others know about you, and it'll be easier to get on with your life.

What do you mean no privacy? I can't view what your real name is, Thelema. Seems like you have some level of privacy.

On the other hand, I know you're in St. Louis, MO and work for a non-profit, that you're a 25 year old female, and I'd be able to pick up stalking-level information about you just by reading your blog.
