Atlanta TSA Protest
My dear, wonderful husband is organizing a protest of the invasion of privacy that the TSA has launched upon the American people. We're going to be gathering together at the Atlanta airport tomorrow morning for a peaceful protest, in order to make a visible stand for our privacy. If you're anywhere in the area, please consider making the drive to stand with us. You don't have to be flying that day (we aren't!).
More details below, and please email or comment with any questions! The larger the crowd we have, the bigger our voice is!

In order for this to stop, you and I ("We the People"), must stand up to this tyrannical and out of control government and demand that it cease! In an effort to do that there is a campaign ("National Opt Out Day") which has been started; it is requesting people to opt out of the TSA naked xray screening procedure on November 24th, the day before Thanksgiving. The 24th is one of the busiest air travel days of the year and the hope is that this mass "silent" protest will force our officials to listen and stop this assault on the American people.
What I am organizing is in addition to, and encouragement of, the "opt out" campaign. It is a protest at the Atlanta airport (the busiest airport in the world) on November 24th at 10:00am, coinciding with the national "opt out" campaign. We will hold signs and picket at the main security checkpoint (in the public areas around the security checkpoint area) encouraging travelers to "opt out" of the xray screen process and also to bring attention to this atrocity. This will not be a loud or obnoxious protest, but rather a peaceful and respectful one that will let our leaders know that we have had enough. We will obey all laws and will not seek to cause a physical "disturbance", just an intellectual one. :)
This is yet another egregious item to add to the "long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object which evinces a design to reduce us under absolute Despotism, it is our right, it is our duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future security." If we do nothing about this, our children and their children will pay a heavy price. So will you please consider joining us and inviting your friends and family as well? Please pass this email on and lets have a great turnout! We will provide signs for you if you let me know that you will be coming. If you can't make it to the Atlanta airport, please consider going to your local airport instead.

This is Bernard With CBS Atlanta News. We are doing a story on tomorrow's protest at Hartsfield/Jackson and we'd like to talk to someone who is taking part. Will someone please contact me? The station number is 404-327-3200.
Thanks
I didn't read this until this morning or I would have been there too. I have been sickened by the incredible invasion of privacy and violation of the fourth ammendment that is going on by our government. Our family will not fly until this nonsense is stopped!
I hope your protest went well.

Victoria, due to "timing issues", the airport didn't issue the permit we had applied for, so we're actually rescheduling the protest to (hopefully) Friday. If you email me, I will get information to you as we finalize details!
