ACLU offers free anti-TSA stickers for travelers

From the ACLU:

Tell the TSA: Hands Off!



First, the Transportation Security Administration rolled out controversial "naked scanners," which take electronic pictures of travelers' naked bodies.

Then, TSA began subjecting travelers to highly invasive manual searches by TSA officers. These searches debuted at Logan Airport in Boston, but TSA has now made them standard at airports nationwide for travelers who say no to being scanned.

In advance of the holiday travel season, we want to give you two things:
  • New "Know Your Options at the Airport" guide.
    It details ways to protect your privacy at the airport. It also tells how to file official complaints about any TSA trouble you encounter.
  • Free "Hands Off!" stickers.
    Wear them, or put them on a laptop or bag. Tell the TSA "Hands off!" and let other travelers know where to go for more information about their rights.
The ACLU supports security policies that are effective and do not unreasonably intrude on Americans' civil liberties. Until security measures that meet this standard are in effect, we want you to know your options. Please help us spread the word.
