Placards, kilts part of plans for scanner protests

CHICAGO – Holiday travelers dismayed by airport body scans planned protests at bustling airports Wednesday, while the head of the nation's transport security agency urged passengers to comply with searches to reduce the possibility of delays on one of the busiest travel days of the year.

A loosely organized effort dubbed National Opt-Out Day plans to use flyers, T-shirts and, in one case, a Scottish kilt to highlight what some call unnecessarily intrusive security screenings. Others feared holdups: More than 40 million people plan to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to AAA, with just more than 1.6 million flying — a 3.5 percent increase in fliers from last year.

Does the WaPo really need to run an article with this headline? :whatever:

Protesters' body scanner opt-out day could bring nationwide delays at airports

I'm surprised they aren't blaming Bush.

I've only flown once on Thanksgiving week and that was 20+ years ago, and it sucked.  I can only imagine how much worse it is now.
