If you've been reading reddit regularly (and who hasn't?) you've probably heard about the backscatter X-ray machines that are being deployed to airports across the United States.As of this month, the rules have gotten stricter than ever. In a nutshell, anyone passing through a backscatter-enabled security checkpoint has a choice: Let a TSA agent see through your clothes, or let a TSA agent touch your most intimate areas. And it's not just Americans who should feel threatened; TSA policies seem to have a way of spreading around the world.
A group of redditors has decided to take a stand. They've set up a community called OperationGrabAss as their base of operations (if you're a prudish reporter, flywithdignity.org is their more mundanely-named alter-ego). We'd like to remain as hands-off as possible and let you guys figure out where this thing goes, but if you reach a consensus on how you'd like to run your campaign, we can help organize a funding initiative.
If you'd like to follow along or brainstorm, add /r/OperationGrabAss to your frontpage. And spread the word.
