 In EPIC's many years of fighting to defend privacy, nothing like the government's intrusive new airport security practices have raised such concern. That's why EPIC has gone to federal court to urge the suspension of the airport body scanner program. We know from EPIC's FOIA work that these devices are not designed to detect the obvious threats to aviation security. And we've read the complaints from travelers. Hundreds of complaints of humiliating, excessive, ineffective, and unecessary searches. We know that security threats are real and that these issues are complex. We don't take these concerns lightly. But it is a vitally important to have a well informed debate and to make very clear that Americans value their privacy and their freedom. That is EPIC's mission. And that's why we need you support.
