Much buzz over the video made by John Tyner, a software engineer who refused a full-body scan at the San Diego airport, then refused what he calls a "groping by a government official" - as in, "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested" - while recording [1]the encounter with agitated security agents.

Much buzz over the video made by John Tyner, a 31-year-old software engineer who refused to undergo a full-body scan at the San Diego airport, then refused what he calls the requisite "groping by a government official" - as in, "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested" - all the while using his iPhone to record [1]the encounter with increasingly hostile security agents. Now some legislators may ask Congress to reconsider [2] the use of the scanners. All just in time for the busy travel season and next week's National Opt Out [3] Day. Because, organizers say, "You should never have to explain to your children, 'Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee.'"
