re: #118 SanFranciscoZionist

It’s an issue. Of course, the scanners are also offensive to some religious sensibilities, as we’re discovering. My thought is that if you simply can’t cope with the dogs, you can have a private pat down option. If you can’t handle either, you probably won’t like flying anyway.

I think the last time someone talked about this, we discussed those giant rats that find bombs in Africa. I don’t know if anyone’s religion has an issue with giant rats.

At some point, rules are rules.

I am also unaware of any religious dictums that make no exceptions for safety.

If there are, those adherents need to learn a new word: Greyhound.
