Topic #2:Don't Touch My Junk Bro!

T.A.P. anyone who doesnt want their junk touched and the purpose is to let people know about what is happening in the States

People’s privacy is something that has been issue that people have been worrying about lately especially in the United States, having to do with the new T.S.A. security policies. Because of the new polices people are being photographed in ways they don’t feel are right and people are being touched in ways that some say are sexual harassment.

The T.S.A. has changed their security polices a little bit. Now when you go to the airport you can be asked to be photographed by a high powered camera that can see through you clothes. The first thing that the people are upset about is the fact that there are naked photos of them being taken and after they have taken them what is done with the pictures. It is said that the pictures are deleted after you are cleared but there have been incidents where the pictures have not been deleted and have been stored.  The second thing that people are upset about is the fact that the machine that takes the pictures gives off small amounts of radiation. The T.S.A says its nothing more then a cell phone, but isn’t a little radiation too much. If it is the same amount of radiation as a cell gives off that should be more of a cause for concern rather then a comforting statement.

The new picture taking machine isn’t the only new thing that the T.S.A has. If someone is to decline the picture then they can be subjected to a pat down. In some case people have be subjected to both a picture and a pat down. The new pat down policy is considered sexual harassment by most and some people have even sued the T.S.A. saying that they were touched inappropriately. There are even videos on YouTube of a man getting a pat down and saying the now somewhat famous words “if you touch my junk, I’ll sue you.”

People are already fighting against these new policies. Many believe that it isn’t necessary to be so invasive just to make sure they are safe. Some say that this is the precautions that must be taken to make sure that everyone on the airplane is safe. The fact is that most people don’t like these new policies and will continue to fight them by suing the T.S.A. for inappropriately touching them.

Personally I think that if enough people show up and ask for the pat downs and creep out the T.S.A. workers, they won’t want to continue with the policy.

In the first paragraph the word people is being repeated quite a lot.

When you talk about the radiation try saying how much (actual number) and what do the doctors say about it? Are cell phones harmful? Find articles and studies to back that up as well

pictures have been stored?where?

a quote from someone would also be effective

I think you should fix your T.A.P I think you mean your junk.. touched? umm there are a few spelling and grammars you might want to fix. be careful with thence; are, is, things like that. also you might want to define T.S.A? and put in the real name of the "picture taking machine" also some quotes and statements would be helpful. definitely a good issue.
