In a hearing of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security yesterday, TSA head John Pistole made clear that controversial airport full-body screens and pat-downs could not be avoided with religious objections.

"That person is not going to get on an airplane," Pistole said in response to a question from Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., on whether the TSA would provide exemptions for passengers whose religious beliefs do not allow them to go through a physically revealing body scan or be touched by screeners.
