As the resident "need to have a cause" member, I feel it's my duty to bring this up. I haven't been as interested in this until lately, because, well, I've been in Asia for almost 2 years and don't have to deal with this. But the outcry on the internet lately has been pretty intense. Many people are citing the harmful radiation (debatable,
considering), but I am focusing more on the aspect of not wanting an image of my naked body available to another person with the possibility of being ridiculed for having a small penis.
Today
Reddit has been bombarding CNN with the following tweet:

@CNN Mr. President: Would you send Michelle/Sasha/Malia through TSA screening? Naked photos or invasive genital groping, you choose.

Thousands of people are doing this currently, not to mention all the other people who will likely jump on the bandwagon when they see their twitfriends talking about it, so I'd be surprised if CNN didn't pick up on it. Not that it matters, seeing as how it's a shit news website.
This isn't just internet vigilantism, though. People from all over are standing out against it and opting for the "pat down". I know I certainly will if I am ever subject to it.
